Feb 22

This week we continued to work on writing poetry.  Students chose their favourite poem, edited it, submitted it for peer review, wrote it out for publication in a good copy then self evaluated their work based on the poetry rubric.  

In math we are continuing to work on adding and subtracting double digit numbers.  Extra practice at home to solidify basic addition and subtraction facts to 20 would be beneficial as many errors are being made in computing.  

In Inquiry we discovered that the animal adaptation of increased layers of blubber helps animals stay warm in the arctic and in the ocean.  We also completed our Aurora Borealis sculptures today.  A few are on display in the main office. 

  

1) Pink Shirt Day!: Hello ROS families. On Thursday, February 28th, we will be recognizing Pink Shirt Day. It is a day where we encourage everyone to practice kindness and wear pink to symbolize that we do not tolerate bullying. Throughout the day, students will participate in activities that inspire acceptance, care for others and themselves and will conclude with a school wide assembly. To show support, students are encouraged to wear pink or their blue ROS shirts.
