Skiing & Snowboarding

Grades 4-6 have spent three days so far at COP learning/practicing their skiing and snowboarding skills. The kids said they learned to "skiboard"(ski on one ski), jump into a turn, turn 360 degrees, carve as well as practiced how to fall down and get back up. They liked their instructors and have had a blast out on the hill.

In Science, the class has been very engaged in building circuits and learning how to draw symbols for switches, power sources and lights. The children have wrapped up their autobiographies, created a title page and assessed their own work. Next, we will be looking at writing different types of paragraphs such as persuasive, narrative and expository. In Math, the class has begun learning division strategies to support solving 3-digit by 1-digit problems. Students finished up their lost (Perdu) animal posters last week and they will begin learning vocabulary related to clothing in French. Today we had a kick off assembly for Pink Shirt day and discussed how we can be kind. Further discussions around this and bullying will happen in the classroom. Be sure to wear your pink shirt on Wednesday!
