In math, we have explored our classroom and the Learning Commons for patterns. We talked about to record what we found by taking a photo using an iPad. Here are some examples of student work:
Next week, we will work on describing the patterns using mathematical vocabulary such as core and term.
We have also been writing and journalling about seasonal changes in the fall. We also took part in chalk talk to think about the food, holidays, clothing and changes in plants and animals that take place during this time.
Updates:
- We did not get to the pond on Friday, so we will be heading there on Monday, October 7 in the afternoon.
- Book orders are due on October 10th.
- We have started the "We Scare Hunger" campaign to collect food donations for the Calgary food bank. Our classroom goal is 100 items of food and we have gotten an excellent start! Thank you for your donations.
Auburn Bay School is partnering with the Calgary Food Bank once again this October to help fight hunger in our community.
We Scare Hunger is made possible with the support of Help Hunger Disappear®, Campbell Canada’s national hunger awareness and food drive program. Since 2008, Help Hunger Disappear® reminds us that we can all play a part in helping the more than 900,000 Canadians who rely on their local food banks every month.
The Auburn Bay School We Scare Hunger Campaign officially begins Tuesday, October 1st and will end October 31st. We invite you to be a part of the change our students are working hard to create. Students have been asked to bring in food bank items throughout the next month. Last year we brought in 1720 pounds of food. This year, our school goal is to collect 1800 pounds of food!
To give you an idea of how much food that is, the average family of 4 people receive an estimated 125 pounds worth of food, filling approximately 2 grocery carts per family. So, if we divvy up the 1720 pounds worth of food collected last year, this amount supported about 14 families, filling 28 grocery carts with food.

Together we can make a difference.
Thank You,
Auburn Bay School
