What a fantastic week we had at Andrew Sibbald School! Students enjoyed our annual Stampede Pancake Breakfast and were treated to an amazing Glee Club performance.

Our talented performers did a wonderful job singing six songs and showcased their hard work, confidence, and enthusiasm. A huge thank you goes to Ms. Odegard, Ms. Hatchett, and Ms. Swanson for the time, energy, and dedication they put into making the performance such a success.

It was a wonderful way to wrap up the second-last week of school and celebrate all that our students have accomplished this year. There has been lots of excitement, learning, and celebration throughout the school, and we are looking forward to making the most of our final week together!

  This week, our class focused on using sketchnotes in our visual journals. Sketchnotes combine simple drawings, symbols, and keywords to capture important ideas in a creative and memorable way. They help students listen carefully, make connections, and organize their thinking while also boosting recall. We practiced sketchnoting during our whole-class read-aloud of A Wolf Called Wander . Students used images and words together to highlight what stood out to them in the story, helping them understand the events more deeply and remember key details in a fun and personal way. I can examine elements of fictional texts, including main plots, characters, and points of view.  The work examples below are from students who wanted their work included on the blog.
