Hola families & friends, Our short week began with the students writing about their weekend, striving to write at least 3 sentences and to add details to their journaling to describe their weekend activities by asking themselves questions such as who, what, where, when, why and how, in addition to using "juicy" words (adjectives and adverbs), in order to stretch their writing and make it more interesting. In Language Arts, they also wrote about different parts of their field trip to the Leighton Centre and drew a picture of their favourite part of their adventure to this art centre, beautifully nestled in the foothills of Alberta. The trip was spectacular for the students in many ways, even though it was a drizzly dull day and the skies were not clear enough to see the Rocky Mountains at a stones throw away. They painted a water colour landscape of those mountains, while learning specific water colour painting techniques. What masterpieces they created! Following
