From our Counselor's Corner: 

We all experience a wide range of emotions when changes occur in our lives.  Anxiety is a natural part of our brain's response to change.  Attached is some information regarding children experiencing anxiety.  

Traveling Tales is still on!!
We are fortunate to be part of an international tale involving four other schools around the world.  Using Adobe Spark and the 5-part Story Mountain, students have been creating the 'build up' section to our Traveling Tale.  We will continue our work on Monday and are excited to share the final product after the other schools have added their sections.  More information on the process and to see previous tales can be found here: http://bevansjoel.wixsite.com/travellingtales

We've kicked off our science unit with discussions about what is science and with some observational exploration.  This unit will focus mainly on light and sound.  However if any parents work in a science field, we welcome them to come speak to the class about the real-life science application, career possibilities, and the broader societal impact of their scientific work.

​During Math, we were creative and challenged each other with our own elapsed time word problems.  

What is Informational Text? 
We explored the differences between fiction and non-fiction texts as we found the different components to each text type.  

SEE YOU MONDAY!!
