Students were super excited about our surprise casual, rainbow day. It was a super colourful Monday! Thank you for checking out our blog each week.
LA/Social Studies/Health: Students have been writing about what makes them happy. This upcoming week, we will be writing about ways that we can fill someone else’s bucket. How can we help our neighbours, family and friends to be happy by doing special good deeds for them? We will then carry out these deeds during the month of December to help people realize how important they are to us. Feel free to discuss some possible things that you can do for others with your child. We will also be doing some special art work around this topic to decorate the hallways and the Learning Commons for the month of December.
Word Family: “ot”
Math: We continued to practice the “Counting Up Strategy” for addition this week, as well as practice with some closed word problems. We will be moving on to more open-ended problems and the “Turn Around Strategy” in the upcoming weeks.
Science: Students were excited to complete the smell test this week. We had six jars of items that you would use in your household, such as coffee, cinnamon, garlic, curry, toothpaste and vinegar. Students had to smell and guess what the items were from a list of 10 possible items. Students did an excellent job of figuring out these items! We will be learning about the sense of hearing and doing a sound test over the next two weeks.
Upcoming Events:
Monday: Formal Uniform Day
We need to wear a white dress shirt and not a polo shirt. Leggings are not acceptable for formal or informal uniforms. You must wear a tie if you wear pants for your formal uniform.
Wednesday: Library book exchange
We had
a lot of students forget their books this past week, probably as we have not
had book exchange for two weeks. Please send in your child’s books this week,
so that they can get a new book.
Friday: Homework is due and we have a spelling test.
