Mrs. Elliott's Montessori Classroom

In gym this morning the students played handball.  We had a large work block day today.  During this time the children worked on learning about the Digestive System. A permission slip is coming home today.  We were offered a very quick turnaround opportunity to volunteer at the Mount Paul Community Food Centre.   Homework:  - library tomorrow  - gym tomorrow  - please wear white on Tuesday Have a wonderful evening! 

Welcome back!   I hope that everyone had a wonderful Spring Break.  We had a little outside brain break with another class this morning to give some movement to our learning.  Coming back can be difficult!  We are starting another body system this week and started making a title page for our Digestive System work. Homework tonight:  - home reading  - return library books tomorrow  - gym tomorrow  - permission slip for food bank Have a good night. 

We ended the day with lots of laughs and giggle.  Once students had finished their work they were allowed to celebrate with some well earned choice time.  This included what turned into a large game of Apples to Apples. For those students who were away, please ask them to share their finished typed letter to their cause with me once they are done.  We will look at these together when we get back. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Spring Break full of many laughs and wonderful memories made.  See you in two weeks! 

This afternoon we had little buddies and we helped them make leprechaun traps.  In health they did an activity with reptiles and amphibians.  Tomorrow we will be trying to get our letters typed out before the break.  Please make sure your child has started and RETURNED their notes and rough copies. Goals are also being brought home today.  Homework:  - home reading  - permission slip  -  any unfinished work before the break Have a good night. 

Today we worked on planning our letter on our cause.  Many of the children have started their rough copy.  The goal for tomorrow is that our rough copy is done so we can work with a friend and do some peer editing.  If your child does not have their plan complete, it is homework.  In gym today the students played Donut. Homework tonight:  - home reading  -  letter planning and rough copy   - unfinished work Have a good night! 

Today all of the students took part in a practice numeracy assessment.  The fives and sixes will write these after spring break.  They have the students break down a word problem looking at the numeracy cycle to guide their thinking.  The grade fours completed a student learning survey this afternoon. Homework tonight:  - home reading  - gym tomorrow  - library tomorrow  - Causes notes due back in the classroom tomorrow Have a good night!
