Hello Parents.
We started this week by continuing with some of the projects we began last week. We have also been busy preparing for our assembly tomorrow, where we will be singing a song and playing a special Jeopardy game with a focus on the core competency, "Creative Thinking". We continue to prepare for our dance extravaganza which will be next week on Tuesday and Wednesday (see details and invitation below). See below for a detailed description of all or activities and some important dates to remember.
Math: With Mrs. Brown: Students wrote their final multiplication test on Monday. The test will be sent home on Thursday. Please ask your child to see their test. We will begin our unit on long division on Wednesday. We are also working on learning our basic multiplication facts. Please practise this with your children at home. With Mr. Lurie: We begin a new unit on probability and statistics.
Writing: This week we continue to work on poetry, creating a shape poems and "I Am" poems. In addition to poetry, we are finishing our research portion of our inquiry project on Canadian women through history. Next week, students will be taught the process of taking their notes and turning them into sentences and paragraphs with our goal of a one page, multi-paragraph essay.
Reading: We continue to work on our Reader's Theatre where students will perform a read aloud play in groups. Performance date will be later in May. We are also reading articles from Canadian Reader where the children will be working on finding the main idea of a reading passage.
Physical Education: Our focus this week has been games out on the field. Capture the Flag seems to be a favourite.
