Lion Pride @ Surrey Hills
Definition of Pride: King's Gate Family
Great Beginnings!
Wow! What a fabulous 2017-2018 school start we have had for our elementary school! We love our new space, teachers and friends. Learning through discovery is seen everywhere!
First grade is learning about communities and the differences between urban, suburban and rural communities and putting the information into their interactive notebooks. Second grade is learning about landforms, and soon they will create edible landforms! In music, third grade reviewed whole notes and worked on learning the pentatonic scale. In art, the fourth graders, continued their study of the Alhambra, more specifically the tessellations that adorn the walls of the palace and what a tessellation is before they created their own simple tessellations using a square as the geometric "base." Fifth graders are increasing their vocabulary using Word Wisdom and creating Google Slides to illustrate their vocabulary words. In Service Learning, sixth graders are working on their next skit on courage. They were also seen passing out compliments to others in the school. Everywhere you look, wonderful learning is happening!

30 Species of Pollinators Noted in Garden
Ms. Laurie reports, "Today in the garden we've noted 23 species of butterflies alone and we've counted 30 species of pollinators." We are excited to create a habitat for all the pollinators and have the opportunity to learn about them.
Using Ozobots to Learn Coding
Students discovered more about Ozobots and began coding by creating color patterns for the robots to follow! They loved figuring out about the commands. We look forward to seeing what they can do!
Lion Pride Assemby
You Are Invited
Our students have Lion Pride Assembly every Friday at 2:30PM. Parents are invited each Friday. If your child has a class showcase or is receiving a monthly character award, we will email you so you can make plans to attend. Our character trait for this month is courage.
We are going to honor Veterans at our Lion Pride assembly on Friday, Nov. 3rd, 2:30PM. If you have a family member who has or is serving in the military, you can email a picture to Shenae Nicholson at snicholson@kingsgateschool.com to add to our slideshow. Also, you can invite them to join us so we can honor them that day. We are having Veteran's Day assembly a week early because Veteran's Day will be the day of our Gala.
Thank you for trusting us with your children
