Special Visitors to Division 7

This morning Sam's mom and dad came to our class to talk about their careers.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Vamplew are lawyers!  Yesterday we had brainstormed some great questions for them, plus they told us lots of other interesting facts.  Did you know that both Baroc Obama and his wife Michelle are lawyers?  So are Brian Burke and Ken Dryden .   When you go to court as a lawyer you have to wear a wizard or Harry Potter robe aka black robe an English tradition. To become a lawyer it takes 7 years of university plus  a year of articling.

May 29/15

We all had a fantastic day at Grouse Mountain.  The highlights were the gondola ride, seeing the grizzly bears Grinder and Coola, the presentation at the Feasthouse, seeing and feeling real skulls, claws and fur and last but most popular, the lumberjack show! Thanks to all the parents who joined us for the day!

May 22, 2015

This has been a busy but short week! Our scientists this week were Katrina, Aston and Daniel and again they had very cool experiments which they were prepared and knowledgeable about.
In math we continued our multiplication and subtraction stations plus learned about division.  We played parachute games in gym and with our big buddies we are designing and painting Robert Munsch door covers.  This is a huge project but they should look really cool when we get them done.  The Gallery Walk today was really fun.  It is so cool to see all the amazing art that the students of Fairview have done.  Any parents that haven't had a chance to walk the halls to see all the art should definitely try to do so.  

Grouse Mountain is next Friday please note that all students (and parent volunteers) need to be at the school by 8 am as the bus needs to leave by 8:15 so that we are at Grouse by 9:30.  Everyone needs to be sure to dress for the weather.  We are all really looking forward to this exciting day!

May 15th

The Poetry Recital on Monday was a big success.  All the students did well and now have  a better idea of what it is like to speak in front of a group.  I learned something too as we had made cue cards for all the students which they didn't really use at all in the classroom but once on stage they just read them :( next time I'll have them put them in their pocket! 

I made the draw for our field trip to Grouse Mountain on May 29th and the parents that will be accompanying us on the bus will be Zander's dad, Adrien's mom and Kevin's mom.   Thanks to the other parents who will be joining us for the trip but will be meeting us there.  Please send your $22.40 in as soon as possible so that we can deposit this into the office and then they will write one cheque for the whole Fairview group.

Div. 7 really enjoyed watching some of the track and field events that the intermediate students were in on Thursday.  We had done a mini unit in gym as just an introduction and now most of the students can't wait til they are able to participate. 

We started new explorations stations yesterday!  

In Math the students have been enjoying new stations which are focusing on subtraction with and without regrouping and multiplication. 

Next week Monday is a holiday and Tuesday is a pro d day so there is no school for students. Next Friday is our gallery walk at Fairview.  Parents are welcome to see all the amazing work the students of Fairview have done this year.  

May 8th

Just a reminder that the Primary Poetry Recital is on Monday, May 11th at 10:30, all parents are welcome to attend.  Please help your child practice over the weekend to ensure they are ready (the goal is for them to memorize their poem).  We have been working on saying it slowly, loudly and clearly.  

Many students are still not registered for our Grouse Mountain field trip please do so as soon as possible.  Also if you registered online but haven't sent in money please also do that.  Thanks. 

Our scientists this week have gone very well, thanks to Lachlan, Amalia, Adrien, Quinn and Kevin for being organized and ready to present!  A big thank you to Quinn's cousin who came in to extend Quinn's science project on electrical circuits.  Terry brought in some traffic lights and explained how these work.

Every child should have brought this Scientist sheet home and must bring it completed on their Scientist Day.  I have reminded the students that they should draw a detailed labelled diagram.  If anyone has misplaced their sheets please just let me know. 

Happy Mother's Day hope you all have a wonderful day!  The children were very excited about the gift they made for you!  They will need a little adult/older sibling help on Sunday morning. Hope you like it.

Ms. D spent the day with us.  It was so nice to see her again.  She has summer classes and will then be done her teaching program.

Fun Day is coming up on June 12th.  If you are able to volunteer that day please fill out the form that was sent home today and return as soon as possible.  

May 1, 2015

Wow, it's hard to believe it is already May!   Today we had a very special guest come to visit us, Pinocchio came to share the mystery of what made his nose grow!  Ask your child what they learned. We were all so curious Mrs. Roberts sent them an email and they agreed to share their secret with us. 

I think we all realize now how important it is to ask questions!

Scientist of the day - starts next Monday - hopefully all of you got this handout last week and that your child's date works.  If not please let me know asap.  I have also posted the list of all the dates on our classroom window.  We have not set a specific time each day that we will doing these science projects but if you wanted to be there when your child presents please let me know and we will arrange the time. 

Poetry Recital is Monday, May 11th at 10:35 all parents are welcome to attend.  Students should be practicing their poems at home so they can try to memorize it.  Thanks for your help with this. 

We went to a special presentation on Wednesday.  Eric Wilson is a Canadian author of many mystery novels.  We all enjoyed this session and learned many good ideas to help us with our own writing.  Div. 7 is excited to read Eric's favourite book Mystery on the Canadian.   Eric Wilson's website  ericwilson.com  has  the first chapter of  all his books if your child is interested in reading any of these and our school library has many of these books available now and will be ordering more.

Grouse Mountain field trip on Friday, May 29th please sign up for this asap 

April 24th

Thanks to Marco and Kate's mom for picking up the hot chocolate from Starbucks and Zander's mom for helping to serve it.  All the students were happy to redeem their prize for Club RED reading even though they were disappointed that they couldn't actually go there.  Also thanks to Sam's mom for providing the yummy marshmallows.

Just Right Reading books were changed today. 

May 11th is our Primary Poetry Recital so today we started choosing poems so we can start practicing them.  All the grade 2's are partnered up while the grade 3's will be doing one on their own.  They can either choose and recite a poem or write their own poem.  This activity is to prepare our students for public speaking which starts in Grade 4.  

We have started an exciting project with our big buddies.  We are designing door covers for Robert Munsch books.  In the next month you should start to see many of these up all over Fairview.

In Math we have continued to work on addition with and without regrouping, reviewing fact families and are now focusing on multiplication. 

We started track and field stations in gym and have new stations in both Explorations and Reader's Workshop.

We completed our 'foil art' projects and now they look pretty amazing up in the hall!  You'll have to come by to see them. 

Popcorn sales are next Wednesday and Thursday.  They sell for $2.00 a bag. 

Scooter Fun

April 17th

On Tuesday Mrs. Crook came to our class for a second visit. This time we read a very good book about how dream catchers can catch all the bad dreams.   We each got to make our own dream catchers!

Just a reminder to all parents that each week we have a new spelling lesson.  We start on Monday, they write their words in their planners and work on the lesson. They continue each day with the quiz on Friday.  We don't have a lot of in class time to complete these so your child may be bringing it home during the week, if you could please check with your child and assist them to complete this they will be more successful on Friday and learn/master that phonics focus each week.  Spelling City a link on the blog is also a great way for them to practice these words.

A huge thank you to the parents who drove and/or volunteered to attend the ACT with us yesterday.  Pinocchio was an excellent play that we all really enjoyed.

We also started to look closely at different wonders this week.  This week we looked several interesting questions.  Why do you sneeze?  Why do rabbits hop?  How does the sun make energy?  

Scholastic book orders were sent home on Thursday and are due next Tuesday, April 22.

Next Friday morning there will be no Family Reading but instead we will be walking to Starbucks to receive our free hot chocolate that we won for our second place finish in Club RED.  We can just use your child's general walking field trip for this outing.  If any parents are able to join us for the walk that would be great!  

April 10

Another short but busy week.  We were all very anxious to start new Explorations/Invitations with Ms Roberts class.  The students are excited to be able to go to either classroom and to work with peers from the other class. Ask your child about some of the new things that can explore!

We have now started working more on our community unit. Hopefully your child has told you about their homework. They are each to choose a favourite thing/place in your community to draw and write about, if possible please have this returned to school on Tuesday.  We are looking for any parents that would be able to come into our class to talk about their job/career.  It would give the students a great opportunity to learn from your experiences and about all the different possibilities for when they grow up. 

Field trip to the ACT is next Thursday afternoon.  We are still short drivers (we only have spaces for 16 students)  Please remember to send booster seats on Thursday morning.  Thanks.

April 2

Ms Rowledge-Toscani played an April Fool's joke on us by saying we didn't have time for either snack or recess because we had so much work to catch up on!  We all believed her!   Luckily she told us in time to have our snack!  We met our new buddies for our third term and made the cool Easter eggs which we brought home either Wednesday or Thursday!

We have been reading The Hundred Dresses and now realize how important it is to always be kind to each other and not make fun of someone because of how they look, talk or what their name is.  

In math we started some new stations, we are focusing on addition with and without regrouping, money. reviewing our subtraction facts and multiplication on the Smart board.

For Art this week we did a directed drawing of a bunny hiding in some grass.  Don't they all look great even though we all followed the same directions everyone is very different and unique! They make our bulletin board in the hall look great.

We changed table groups.  Also be sure to check out our Poetry books as we have a student author plus an Easter word search. 

Today Division 7 had lots of treats!   We celebrated both Aston and Adrien's birthdays which are on Sunday plus Mallary brought special cookies for Easter.  Plus we had Booster Juice!   Thanks for the yummy goodies!

 Hope you all have a wonderful long Easter weekend!

Here are some cool pictures of the sea of pink!  

We started new Explorations and at the Play Dough station they are to re-represent something they learned in our Force and Motion unit.  These creations turned out amazing so far...

On Tuesday we had a special guest, Mrs. Crook.  She taught us about Aboriginal People and told us the story "The Messenger of Spring".   We learned that we should not be called Indians.  Ask your child why?  We then made these cool place mats, which we wove and then added different signs of spring.     They look great up on our bulletin board. 

Skating was enjoyed by all.   Thanks so much to Marco, Kevin, Jaskirat, Amalia,  Sam, Nolan's  Moms for driving and to all the parents who drove their own child and helped out both on and off the ice.

This week has been very busy!  We started new stations at Reader's Workshop stations, Explorations, Force and Motion and Math.  Thanks to everyone who sent in paper towel and toilet paper rolls, we are using these to build our own marble maze.  It is starting to take shape!   Ask your child to tell you about Tool Time, Magnetic Mania, Gravity Guess  and Building Bonanza.


Club RED is up and running, every day after lunch there is  music on while we read and yesterday was our first hallway reading.  Hopefully everyone is reading  at home, signing and colouring their heart daily.  Next Thursday and Friday is Poem in the Pocket - students can bring a poem from home (one they have printed, copied or even written themselves).  They should practice reading their poem so that on these days they can confidently share with adults and students!

Thank you to Mallary's grandma for giving Division 7 most of these amazing shells!

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a fabulous winter break and enjoyed lots of family time.

Division 7 are all starting this new year off on the right foot!  They each made resolutions which you will have to stop by and read.  They are great goals but also look good on the bulletin board.

With the new year 2015 we are focusing on place value in math and are using our base ten blocks. 

We started a basketball unit in gym which all the students seem very excited about.

We are using our class Ipad to take pictures look at Slowy's kingdom also know as turtle castle!
