Ecoschool Green Club Update October 2015
We have a great Ecoschools Green Club at St. Anthony Catholic School. Some members gathered together this week to create a bulletin board to showcase the initiatives we have completed in just our first two months of school. The bulletin board will be updated regularly with students. The next time you are at our school, please visit our bulletin board. Our green efforts are definitely newsworthy!
This was a follow-up activity from our reading of Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. Students loved the story of Flat Stanley, ask your child to tell you more about this special character!
We counted more items, such as leaves, cubes and now coins. Students used coins to buy super stickers. They really enjoyed counting by 5’s and 10’s using nickels and dimes! They are using coins to represent numbers. They were also using quarters to buy certain items. Great job Grade 2’s!
We will be doing lots of pumpkin inquiry this week! We are looking forward to a great week of learning!
This week in Manzoli’s Stars class…..
We have a very busy week ahead of us this week beginning with photo retakes on Monday.
We also have our Public Nurse visiting our class on Tuesday with a presentation on Personal Hygiene and on Wednesday we have a special presentation on Pedestrian Safety. Don’t forget Friday is Pizza Day and Our Halloween party beginning at 4:30, don’t forget your costume and toonie.
In Language we will be introduced to our new spelling words and we will be having our word quiz on Friday. Reviewing these words daily is essential for reinforcement. We will begin our last Daily 5 station “working with words”. In Math, we have begun geometric patterns. Another experiment is planned for science “ Looking at seeds”. We will also be talking about the true meaning of Halloween and have a little celebration on Friday by playing Halloween BINGO.
Here are some anchor charts that we are using in language when we write.
Have a great week!

Mrs. Troccoli’s Grade 4/5 Team News
The Grade 4/5 team completed our place value unit with the completion of a summative and test. The students rose to the occasion and demonstrated their knowledge to the best of their ability. The students should continue to review concepts learned as they will be called upon throughout all the math strands. We will be using the inquiry method to add and subtract 2 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers as well as adding and subtracting 3 and 4 digit numbers with regrouping and borrowing. The students will be introduced and given information about a new online program that we will also be using called Mathletics. Look for information coming home with your child in the near future.
In Language we will continue with Listening to reading by using the online program Raz kids and responding to what the students are listening to. It is great to see how many students have already taken full advantage of this wonderful resource at home.
The grade 4/5 team is also preparing for our school assembly where they along with the grade 5/6 team will be presenting the Catholic Graduate Expectation of Teamwork to the entire school. They will demonstrate what each class will be working towards for the month of November in an attempt to be the keeper of the coveted trophy. It’s all about teamwork!
There will also be lots of excitement in the air as Halloween is fast approaching. We will work together to decorate our classroom door in anticipation of Friday’s Halloween Party.
A reminder that picture re-take day is Monday. Homework duotangs will be sent home on Monday. Activities are to be completed to the best of the students ability before returning it to school on Friday.
Have a wonderful week!
