Gr 1

In grade 1, we are continuing our unit on the treaty promises made between the Aboriginals and European settlers. This is our kwl board. The children have learned a lot. 

Last week was the full week of teaching for our student teachers from the university. The grade 1s completed Circle books that looked at the importance of the circle in aboriginal culture. They are currently on display outside of my classroom if you would like to take a look!

After Easter break, we will be creating mini dioramas depicting the signing of the treaties. Look for them on display near the end of April. This will the the culminating project in our treaties unit, and then we will begin our final social studies unit of the year: Our Needs. This will look at our social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual needs.

In Phys Ed, we will be focussing on rhythm and dance during April. 

Have a restful Easter!

Interviews

Just a reminder that I will be at the school today from 3:30-5:15 and available to meet with you. If today doesn't work, email me and we can set up a time before or after school Mon-Wed in the next couple weeks. If you are looking for me today, I will be in Dan Gallays room from 3:30-4:30, and Tara Schecks room from 4:30-5:15. If you would like to meet with me, you can find me there!

K, 1, 2/3 and 7

Dear Parents,

As we come up to 3-way conferences tomorrow and Friday, it is a time to celebrate the learning of our students, as well as ask any questions or address concerns that you might have. My work days are Mon-Wed, but I will also be available at the school this Thursday from 3:30-5:15pm. If you wish to meet with me then, or to schedule a meeting for a later date, you may email me. There is a contact field on this blog, or you can email me at zredpath@gscs.sk.ca. 

Alternately, you may call the school and leave a message with Mrs. K at the office, and I will return your call as soon as possible. I am often not in my room (teaching Phys Ed), so leaving a message with Mrs. K is usually better than transferring to my extension.

Gr 7 unit exam

As a major heads up, the science unit exam for chemistry will be Monday April 27th. That is over a months notice. There is a lot to review, so this should give ample time for studying. There will still be another lab report before then. Also, any extra credit assignments need to be turned in on the date of the unit exam.

Gr 7 rewrite

The science quiz rewrite is tomorrow. Here are the answers to the practice sheet (notice the corrections).
