Hi Parents and Guardians, Just a quick note to let you know that students will be bringing home their assessments today from the Simile Poems. If you're looking to review the expectations for this assignment, click here . As a class, this work was very well-done. Students captured the spirit of the books, explored similes, and refined their skills of found art. Here are some student samples to celebrate. If you have questions or concerns about your child's marks/feedback, please reach out to me by email.

Science: I can observe and connect with nature; I can reflect on observations, notice changes & patterns. Art: I can create realistic drawings. I can explore colour. Yesterday, we went on a Community Walk so that we could learn about and capture the fall colours through art. On the walk, we saw Canadian geese, a magpie nest, a chickadee, a northern flicker (and some dinosaurs!). "On some of the trees, some of the leaves were still changing colours. On the same tree, we saw yellow and green." ~ Rochael "On the leaves, when the leaves start to turn red or yellow, they start on the outside." ~ Sebastian K "I realized that when the leaves start to change colour, the top left of the tree was yellow and other parts were still green." ~ Dillon "Some leaves that I found were kind of looking like a tree that was set on fire." ~ Sebastian C "When I was walking, I noticed that some trees had almost lost all of their leaves." ~ Callie "...
