In-school Field Trip this Thursday - AstroDome

-

This Thursday, our class will have the unique opportunity to engage with the AstroDome. The AstroDome is a portable, inflatable planetarium that brings the wonders of space right into our school! With a high-definition digital projection system, students will be fully immersed in a 360-degree view of the night sky, making them feel as if they are traveling through space. 

This program will allow an entire class to explore the universe together, learning about:

  • Earth’s Place in Space – From our Solar System to the vast universe.
  • Telescopes & Technology – Tools that help us explore the cosmos.
  • Constellations & Navigation – How stars move and guide us.
  • Calendars & Timekeeping – How the Sun and Moon help us track time.

This engaging, hands-on experience will spark curiosity and wonder, giving students a unique perspective on astronomy—all from inside the AstroDome! 

The cost of this in-school experience has been graciously funded by the NLS School Council and Parent Fundraising Society. There is NO cost for families.

They got to vote between three options and chose PJ Day . Students will be allowed to bring 1 stuffy on this day. As long as their stuffy does not interfere with their or someone else's learning, students can have their stuffies on their desks.

Hello 4B Families! Important reminders: Our Family Math Night has been cancelled, as schools are not able to host evening events due to the CUPE Local 40 strike. If plans are made in the future to reschedule, we will communicate details at that time. Thanks for your understanding! Next week, the weather is supposed to be warmer. This will mean that the playground will be slushy and muddy. Please help your child dress in footwear that will keep their feet dry. Running shoes are not the safest or best choice for playing outside in this type of weather. All students (from K-5) should always keep a change of clothes in their backpacks that they can change into if they get wet or muddy. This includes socks, pants, shirts and underwear. Having clothes to change into will ensure they are comfortable and that they classroom is staying clean. Here is what we have been up to this week: Literacy Stations - Below is the success criteria and expectations for our literacy stations. We had a convers...

Hello everyone, I have the BEST students :) Here is what we have been up to up this week: Writing - We are learning about procedural writing. We practiced writing instructions on our whiteboards about simple things (how to tie your shoelaces, how to build a fort, how to do long division). We then practiced writing in our writing journal.                      Gratitude - We wrote about what makes us smile :) Science - We are learning about static electricity. Ask your child about this! Math - We started learning about long division. We will continue practicing next week. We took a short break from it to learn about collecting data and graphing. As we are moving towards more complex math concepts, it is really important to be fluent with your multiplication facts.          Have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm! Important Dates January 27 - Report Cards for K-5 available online within your MyCBE parent account. (...
