I can draw and identify a square

We are learning about all the different shapes. Today we took a closer look at a square. We realized that squares are everywhere. I can find squares at home and all around me. Ask me to draw a square in the air. We learned that it has 4 sides and 4 corners. In our visual journals, we drew 3 squares and turned them into something else. A square can be a: dice, ice cube, slice of bread, a chessboard and more.

-We are collecting donations for the Mustard Seed - please see below for specific items being collected.  Donations will be collected until Dec. 15th

Students in grade 5 have been learning about The Mustard Seed, whose vision is to eliminate homelessness and reduce poverty in Calgary. The grade 5 students and staff have decided to take on a Community Project to help support people who are experiencing homelessness and/or poverty in our city.

Students have been exploring the question, “Can one person make a difference?” Students think each and everyone 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. 

You can chose to donate to our important community project by sending in individual items. Items include urgently needed items, hygiene items, and clothing items. Here is a list of items to donate.

Urgent Needed Items

blankets, shampoo, body wash, lotion, deodorant, razors

Hygiene Items

conditioner (travel size), toothpaste (travel size), tissues (travel size), lip balm, hair brushes, sleep masks, ear plugs, nail clippers, foot powder

Clothing

Other Items

Backpacks

If you are able to, we ask you to bring in your donations by December 15th, 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 considering supporting our Community Project!
