Some Highlights from our Duckling Adventures 2020

From Jan - March our Class was fortunate to participate in an Eggucation adventure. I would recommend this program.  Here is the link for people interested in the program: Eggucation Website .
Our ducklings hatched on Feb 5th and we celebrated their 1 month birthday on March 5th.  Many classes in the school studied the eggs and visited the ducklings.  We named them Lightning, Thunder and Storm.  We worked with our K-1 buddies on duck science: we recorded observations, wrote a duck story, created art, researched facts, read duck inspired fiction, and helped our K-1 buddies make a book on their ipads using Book Creator.  We had helpful staff and families that arranged overnight and weekend getaway adventures. We were able to participate in this program because the Moody Elementary PAC provided the financial resources.  Here are some photos - most were posted to our twitter account as they happened.

Welcome Class 2019-2020

It has been a great start to the 2019-2020 School Year!  Our first week of September was filled with getting to know everyone in our grade, meeting teachers in our school and learning about our schoolwide expectations and schoolwide programs.  We practiced our skills at using the Zones of regulation.  We explored our school motto: "Be kinder than necessary." We learned ways to keep a growth mindset and we were reminded of behaviour expectations in the hallways, at lunch, at recess, and in the classroom.  Finally on Friday afternoon, September 6th we were assigned our classes.  This year, in Mrs. Elie's class, there are 26 students in Grade 4/5.  We are looking forward to a great year filled with GRA, Mystery Skypes, Spheros, Freshgrade, and of course making and being good friends and students.

Term 2

From December to March our class was very busy.  In Science we made models of systems of the human body while in Social Studies we investigated the three levels of government, voting rights and the history of residential schools in Canada.  We read a variety of picture books and completed a shared novel study of the book Fatty Legs.

When we come back in April we will be making posters, investigating simple machines, and learning about migration and immigration history in Canada.  Stay tuned for Multicultural Day, Student-led conferences, Track Attack and a Sphero Challenge.

Welcome to our 2018-2019 School Year

Students got off to a great start.  We are learning about the Zones of Regulation, Mindsets, Creative Thinking, and Social Thinking.  We are finishing the novel, A Boy Called Bat.  We are looking forward to participating in the global read aloud and reading the book, Amal Unbound.  We are hoping to  connect with a few classes from around the world.  We may participate in Mystery Skypes.
