LCPS students back to the books after enjoying holidays
By Judy Lane and Allyson Haldenby
The LCPS students are back to school
and into the books more than ever.
The students are pleased to welcome
three new pupils to the school - Steve, Scott
and Sherri Nicholson.
Grade 1
The Grade 1 class made some super New
Year's resolutions for 1987. Some of them
were: stop watching so much TV; try to
exercise more; and do more reading.
In mathematics, the Grade 1 students
are learning to tell time. Mrs. Bell's
students are learning to write sen,ences
using proper punctuation and are doing
very well. This week they are starting a
unit on snow.
Everyone is glad to be back at school.
'Grade 2
All 'of the Grade 2 students had an en-
joyable holiday and are looking forward to
a great 1987.
The students loved Mercer Mayer books
so much they decided to do a reading unit
on him. They are making good use of the
school librarian, Mrs. Maclntyre, as she is
helping them make a book about Mercer
Mayer's critters.
Grade 3
A great holiday was enjoyed by the
Grade 3 students who are eager to work as
hard as ever.
The Grade 3 students read a story about
dinosaurs and then made some of the
prehistoric beasts out of plasticine. the
students .also started a new unit in En-
vironmental Studies and are learning how
to read maps.
Grade 4
Mrs. Broad's Grade 4 class also made
many new Year's resolutions such as help-
ing mom and dad, keeping their rooms
tidy, getting along with broers and
sisters and improving their work habits.
Currently, the Grade 4 students are lear-
ning to become better listeners, the most
important skill of good communicators.
Grade 5
All the students in Grade 5 have settled
into 1987 very well.
In Environmental Studies, they have
been studying road maps .while in math
they have been working on division.
All results appear promising so far.
Grade 6
The Grade 6 students are trying to learn
the names and locations of the towns and
villages in Bruce County. What the people
do to make a living in Bruce County also
represents a part rif their studies.
Grade 7
The Grade 7 class had the pleasure of
welcoming a new student, Scott Nicholson,
into their room.
Everyone started reading new novels for
novel studies and, hopefully, everyone
picked a book they will enjoy. The students
are finishing their duties as cafeteria
helpers. As this was their first time,
everyone enjoyed helping and they can
hardly wait to help Mrs. Martin again.
Speeches are starting again very soon, L C p S
and they are hoping for many winners in
the Grade 7 room this year.
Grade 8
The Grade 8 class was excited to find
that Canada Post had not let them down.
Before Christmas, letters were written to
newspapers4across Canada requesting a
copy of the paper. To date, 10 papers have
arrived from Prince Edward Island to
Alberta. The class is looking forward to the
comparison study.
