Dear Grade Fours,
You have made my first four months of teaching here at CBIS the best I could ever ask for. Thank you for being such loving and caring children. I love each and everyone of you. I am going to miss you all very much during my two week break! However, I am really going to enjoying seeing my friends and family back home. I will try to post a couple times on the blog here so you can see some of my adventures back home (feel free to leave me comments). I hope you all enjoy your holiday and spend lots of time with those you love. See you in the new year, Ms. Wright p.s. This Canadain singer up above, Michael Buble, is performing in Seoul February 4th at Jamsil Stadium if anyone is interested! He is an AMAZING performer! Today we had an assembly about digital citizenship and some awards were given to a Grade 7 student. We also were assessed on our Volleyball skills today in gym, Ms. Wright was really impressed with everyone's skills.
HOMEWORK ELA: Reading Log (visualizing) MATH: Show What You Know (1-4, 6-7) REMINDER Tomorrow is the last day before Christmas break! If you would like to bring snacks to share for our Christmas party in the afternoon, please do :) Ms. Wright will be providing some drinks and snacks! A big thank you goes out to everyone who helped make this charity project such a huge success. We were able to collect over 40 new HEATTECH for the children at the orphanage in West Seoul. It was delivered this morning along with all the other generous clothing donations.
We had a lot of fun this afternoon during DPA doing "bobsleigh" races as well as finishing up our crest animals for our totem poles during Social Studies. Only two more days until Christmas break! HOMEWORK ELA: Reading Log (visualizing) Math: Pattern Sheet Pattern book HACE: Goal Sheet SS: First Draft Crest Animal Today students began working on the drafts of their crest animals for our class totem poles. Everyone had to explain why the animal was like them and then we began to stylize the picture to look similar to the aboriginal style of art. We also started our unit on Patterns in Math.
HOMEWORK ELA: Reading Log (strong adjectives) REMINDER Charity: Last day to donate tomorrow HOMEWORK
ELA: Reading Log (your choice) SS: Print Crest Animal REMINDER Two more days to donate HEATTECH clothing! Our goal is 15 items of clothing and then we can watch a Christmas movie on Friday :) Today we made Christmas cards for our families and friends in Art class. My father also sent me a picture of my dog, Tanner, all ready for Christmas. I love my family and so I wanted to share part of them with you :) Looking forward to seeing them in almost one week.
I spoke with the office about changing some students' ACA for Mon, Wed, Fri and I was successful. ACA are as follows: Pilates
Newspaper
Basketball
Enjoy the weekend and thank you all for being very understanding when I was sick! Love, Ms. Wright HOMEWORK ELA: Reading Log (strong words) REMINDER Still looking for donations of new HEAT TECH clothing for orphans. Help these kids out by giving them some advice!
1. Lately, I have been feeling very stressed about school. My parents are putting a lot of pressure on me to get all A's and I have been going to 4 different hagwons everyday. I don't go to sleep until 11 PM every night and I have to wake up at 6 AM every morning. I heard about this medicine that can help you concentrate and focus all day from the internet. I'm thinking about trying it but I am not sure. What should I do? - Katie, 11 2. I just moved to a new school in a new city. Lucky for me, I made friends right away. They are really friendly and we have a lot in common. Unlucky for me, these friends like to smoke cigarettes! I want to keep being their friend but I feel pressured to smoke too. What should I do? - Jake, 14 3. I am depressed. Everything in my life is going wrong. I am failing my classes, I am always fighting with my mom and my grandma just passed away. I noticed my mom keeps leaving her pain medicine in the kitchen and I am thinking that maybe it can take my pain away too. What should I do? - Alex, 10 4. I am really confused! One of my friends is having her birthday party this weekend. However, she told me that I needed to bring a special gift, alcohol! I don't want to drink alcohol so I told her I could not bring any but she said she could give me some...What do I do? - Cindy, 13 Choose 3 situations to answer in three sentences or more! Finished? Practice home row for at least 15 minutes (set the online stopwatch) HOME ROW PRACTICE After that, you can play any of the KEYBOARDING games. Ms. Wright had a lot of fun with the class today by giving them a really difficult "pop quiz". This "quiz" reminded students that they must always follow instructions carefully! We also started our new Science unit on Light and Sound. HOMEWORK ELA: Reading Log (strong words) WN: 5 Strong Words story SCI: Light and Sound Title Page (due Friday) REMINDER If you can, please bring any lightly used winter clothing (jackets, mittens/gloves, hats and scarves) and new HEAT TECH (size SMALL and MEDIUM) for donations. Congratulations to all students on a job well done yesterday! I think everyone was impressed by the wonderful singing and acting :) Today we learned about strong words that help our writing become even better! Ms. Wright sent out our Christmas cards for our friends in Savona and 150 Mile House, British Columbia. We can't wait for them to arrive!
HOMEWORK ELA: Reading Log (strong words) MATH: Review pg 166 (#1-9, 11-14 and 16) REMINDER Math Unit 4 test tomorrow |
