4 LAST MOUNTAIN TIMES
Nokomis School news Prinipal’s Message March does lend itself to a very busy time at school. Between classwork, SRC activities, and extracurricular activities, there is no shortage of things to do. In addition, the weather will start to get nice which can make it difficult to focus. All in all, March can be an interesting month. Remember, though, with a bit of perseverance, a bit of humour, and a whole lot of dedication, anything can get done. - Mr. Koenig Kindergarten, Grade 1 and 2 News The Kindergarten students have started a new unit on dinosaurs and are really enjoying it. They continue to forge ahead on their sounds and are starting to learn some pretty tricky ones. In Math, they are moving onto yet another unit, this one on exploring geometry and measurement. The Grades One and Two students will be starting new units in Math and a unit on the Earth in Science. We continue to look at reading strategies in both grades and are continuing to work on sentence writing. - Mrs. Hendry Grade 3, 4, and 5 News February ended with an Olympic week of activities ranging from tracking a selected country’s medal standings, to designing an Olympic heroes trading card, creating bar graphs, writing acrostic poems and completing Venn diagrams. We look forward to our ski trip. Hopefully the weather co-
operates and we have a great day of skiing. We are coming to the end of certain subject areas: Writing – Dictionary Skills; ELA (Grade 3) – Super Senses; ELA (Grade 4/5) – Why Are You Laughing?; Math (Gr ade 3) – Number Strand: Addition & Subtraction; Math (Grade 4) – Number Strand – Multiplication & Division; Arts Education – Dance Unit. We continue with: Science – Predicting Weather; Health – Digestive System; Writing – Six Traits – Organization; Social Studies – Saskatchewan Cities. - Mrs. Koenig Grade 6, 7, and 8 News The students are progressing well, especially in math. Ty and Savanna will be starting the unit on Fractions, Ratios and Percents. Sydney will soon be starting the unit on Circles. Cara, Daniel, Cylus and Adam will be starting the unit on Volume. There will be a Science exam in the near future and then we will move on to the unit on Cells, Tissues, Organs and Systems. ‘Treaties’ is going to be the focus in Social Studies for the month of March, and in PAA the student are working on computer generated floor plans. We are focussing on reading and writing strategies in ELA, and will also be improving our vocabulary by playing the great comparison game ‘Apples to Apples.’ A potluck lunch is planned for Wednesday, March 10. – Mrs. Tait Greetings from Mrs. Stratton The grade 9-12 students at-
