Good evening families,

I hope you have all had a cozy weekend enjoying the spring snow. Thank you to the parents who have booked their online conferences already and to those who have reached out regarding them and being away.

This week at school we had a busy week together. A couple of our highlights together was our Glass residency with Anna and building Leprechaun traps in Science.


Our learning intentions for Passion for Glass residency (Art, Math and Science). Our students were asked to plan and design an art piece with the focus of Spring in mind.

Reflections

  • I can observe and describe different glass artworks, noting colours, shapes and patterns.
  • I can express my feelings and thoughts about glass art pieces.
Depiction:

  • I can create my own glass art designs using various colours and shapes.
  • I can use shapes to represent my ideas in glass art.
Composition:
  • I can organize colours, shapes, and patterns to create a balanced glass artwork.
  • I can plan and create a glass art piece that tells a story or shows an idea.
Expression:
  • I can share my glass art with others and talk about my creative choices.
  • I can explore and experiment with glass materials to express my ideas and emotions.




In Science building Leprechaun traps our learning intentions were:

Design
  • I can brainstorm and sketch ideas for a leprechaun trap, considering the materials and tools I have.
  • I can select appropriate materials to construct my trap, understanding their properties and suitability.
  • I can build a leprechaun trap following my design plan, ensuring it is stable and functional.
Problem-Solving and Collaboration
  • I can work collaboratively with my peers to share ideas and build our leprechaun trap.
  • I can test my trap and identify any issues that arise during building.
  • I can propose solutions to improve my trap based on observation and feedback.

















See you Monday morning friends,

Ms. Craik

Good evening families, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Just a reminder that our in class talent show will be this coming Monday in the afternoon. We were super excited to have seen the mural finally come to LIFE in our gymnasium. We know that there was a lot of work that went into this masterpiece with Justin and Mrs. Scarrow (and the teacher committee), we also appreciated that ALL students voices at Andrew Sibbald had an opportunity to contribute to this.  "I am happy he recognized that Justin added the parts we wanted to see in it." Norah "I liked that he added holding hands with each other, and the different colours because we all have different skins." Jill "I liked that he added the book, because we are good learners here at Andrew Sibbald School." Liesel We had a great week together full of some wonderful learning in our classroom. One of our highlights this week was in math, our learning intentions for Data Analysis and Graphing were: I can...
