Ms. Renette's Blog for June 15-19

 Learning Intentions

• I can hold a golf club safely and correctly.
• I can be aware of my surroundings before I swing.
• I can use a balanced stance when holding a golf club.
• I can keep my eyes on the ball when I swing.
• I can aim my golf ball toward a target.
• I can use different amounts of force to move the ball different distances.
• I can improve my golf skills with practice.

This week, students were able to learn the basics of golf from Mr. Mike, one of our wonderful volunteers. The golf “course” was set up in our field, where students worked with a partner to practice both driving and putting on the TRS “range”. Luckily, Mrs. Bisson’s sons were there to help too. Thanks to the whole golf team for making this fun learning opportunity happen!

Learning Intentions:

• I can learn about different countries around the world.
• I can identify Canada, the United States and Mexico on map.
• I can identify flags from different countries.
• I can explain that the FIFA World Cup is an international soccer tournament.
• I can recognize that people can come together through sports.
• I can show respect for people from different countries and cultures.

On July 11, the 2026 FIFA World cup began in North America. In Canada, stadiums in Vancouver and Toronto are hosting World Cup matches. Our class learned about the three mascots named Maple the Moose (Canada), Zayu the Jaguar (Mexico), and Clutch the Bald Eagle (USA). Student activities for learning about the World Cup included: making flags for different nations, body and brain breaks, as well as stories and videos. This was a unique opportunity to discuss this popular global event which is watched by millions of people around the world and is being held on our continent.

At Home Learning:

Literacy:
Your child was learning about prepositions this week. Ask them to write step-by-step instructions for finding something in a room in your house. (For example, where is a favourite book or toy.)

Math:
Continue to help your child develop their number sense with money. Have them count coins (group coins into dollars) and learn how to make sure they get the right change back when they pay for things like ice cream this summer.
