Today we had a lot of fun playing a math game called 'Around the World'. Students formed a circle and took turns counting by 10. Each student who said "100" sat down and we began counting again from 0. This is something that can be practiced on the way to school or before bed to solidify the skill of skip counting from 0 to 100 by 10. We will also be practicing counting by 2 to 20, always beginning with 0.
As we have been sending home some books with your child to read, please let us know if they are too hard or too easy. Your child should need support with only a few words in the books.
Mustard Seed Donations – Copperfield Community Project
Students in grade 5 have been learning about The Mustard Seed, whose vision is to eliminate homelessness and reduce poverty in Calgary. Students have been exploring the question, “Can one person make a difference?” Students think each and every one of us at Copperfield can make a difference. Whether it be by helping with donations for The Mustard Seed or by thinking about ways to help others. A smile or extending a simple “Hello” to someone having a challenging day can make a huge difference.
All families of Copperfield are welcome to donate to this important community project by sending in individual items.
Urgently needed items include the items below:
- Blankets, shampoo, body wash, lotion, deodorant, razors
- Hygiene Items conditioner (travel size), toothpaste (travel size), tissues (travel size), lip balm, hairbrushes, sleep masks, ear plugs, nail clippers, foot powder
- Clothing toques, gloves, men’s small size clothing (jogging pants, t-shirts, sweatshirts, socks)
Other Items:
Backpacks, large Xmas Stockings (we will use these to stuff ind. donations)
If you are able to, we ask you to bring in your donations by December 15, to allow for the grade 5 students to organize and send in the donations. Donation bins will be at the front of the school.
Thank you for supporting our Community Project!
