Friday, June 4

 Happy Friday!

We had a pretty good day today, although it was not super interesting because most of it was work period time. 

In the morning, we had the spelling quiz. The students had more time to work on their beach writing from yesterday, and also their "Urban, Rural & Suburban Community" page. The students seem pretty good with urban and rural communities, but a bit confused regarding suburban ones. 

We sat in a circle and had a meaningful talk about Orange Shirt Day. We talked about the meaning of 'indigenous', and 'first nations'. We talked about how important it is to be able to 'be themselves' at school, and the rights of children. The students shared things that they are thankful for at school.

We did a guided drawing video that taught the class how to draw themselves as 'graduates' - because that's what they'll all be at the end of the month!

Upcoming Dates: 

Room 6 Talent Show - June 23

The third annual "Room 6 Talent Show" will take place on Wednesday, June 23. The Talent Show is a fun opportunity for students to showcase their talents and hobbies for their classmates and teachers. 

Participation in the Talent Show is completely optional, and students may choose to present their talent 'live', or to record a video at home and submit it through Google Classroom. 

Talents do not need to be performance-based either - if a student is passionate about art, for example, they could bring one of their favourite drawings to share with the class.

Unfortunately, due to Covid protocols, parents are not permitted to attend the show as we've done in previous years. However, I will put together a video of the live performances and share it on Google Classroom!

If your child would like to participate in the Talent Show, please send me an email at zalink@cbe.ab.ca some time before Friday, June 18. This will give me a better idea of how long the show will run and what equipment we'll need (We do have access to a piano, in case anyone was wondering). I'll also create an assignment on Google Classroom for any video submissions.

Stay tuned for next week's spelling words, and have a wonderful weekend.
