This week in Room 18 has been chock-full of summer adventures! We visited the Fire Station, and learned about all the ways firefighters help keep us safe. We learned what information we will expect to give the 9-1-1 operator (all the students brought home a "cheat sheet" with their information on it - please keep it near the phone, if you have a landline). All the students got to sit in the driver's seat of the fire engine, and they had a great time turning on the flashing lights! I have begun our final Fountas & Pinnell reading assessments of Room 18 students. I know that reading assessments aren't the most fun for Room 18 students, so we have a deal: after a student reads one book, they get to play a game of their choice with me for five minutes! Our biggest news is the emergence of all seven of our butterflies from their cocoons! We were excited all week, anticipating seeing our new friends emerge. Finally, they did, and we released them all on Friday. “We are going to let the butterflies free, and that is sad.” –MB “When we let the butterflies go, they’re going to have a good life, even though we will miss them and it is really sad.” –CL “When they hatched out of their cocoons, their wings looked so beautiful. And I’m going to miss them when they’re gone.” –BM In Math, we have been learning about measurements. Then we will be focusing on money for the rest of the year. “When you see something, first you take a guess how big it is, then you measure it with blocks or a ruler.” –BM “We used measurements to see how big it is.” –CL On Friday, we had our final Sibbald U session of the year! In Social/Emotional work, we wrapped up our work on the First Agreement (Be Impeccable With Your Word), and we moved onto the Second Agreement: Don't Take Anything Personally. “If somebody says something kind to you and you ignore them and say, ‘Hm!’ that’s taking things personally and it also means you’re grumpy.” –CL We have a new school website: check it out! http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/andrewsibbald/Pages/default.aspx Important Dates: Thursday, June 1, 8 & 15: Garden Club 11.45-12.15p Tuesday, June 6: Bike to School Day Tuesday, June 6: Nicke Drama Presentation 10-10.30a Thursday, June 15: Spirit Day & Fun Lunch Thursday, June 22: Talent Show Assembly Tuesday, June 27: Sports Day Thursday, June 29: Last day of School (Half-Day)
