Hello Families.
It has been an incredibly busy and productive week. Thank you to all the parents who came in for parent-teacher conferences. We enjoyed sharing your child's progress with you. Next week, we will have an Open House on Thursday, March 14th from 3:00-6;00 pm. This will give your child an opportunity to tour you through our classroom and showcase all of their term two work. We hope to see all of you attend and look forward to having you.
Below are our events and reminders for our final week before Spring Break.
Math: With Mrs. Brown, Students will write their final math test on subtraction of large numbers. We will also be reviewing financial literacy and each student will have an opportunity to demonstrate or learn how to make change and count it back. In addition, we will continue our "Math Wall" once a week for the rest of the year. Math Wall gives students the opportunity to solve math word problems and riddles together using math language as they discuss possible solutions to math problems. The purpose is to get students comfortable using math language as they try to solve problems together. Ask your child about this. Finally, we will continue with multiplication donut drills. Ask your child about these and if you are able, practice their multiplication facts with them. With Ms. Rickson, we will be learning about single transformations in math. Students will learn the differrent types of transformations and then create an art project to demonstrate their knowledge.
Reading/Writing: We will read the final chapter from Number the Stars and create book trailers on the iPads.
Applied Skills, Design and Technology -We are continuing with our Google Slideshow "My Favourites." Students are working on adding backgrounds, animations, and colour schemes.
Physical Education: We continue to work on our basketball skills with a focus on passing.
S.T.E.M.: Chinese New Year is upon us and it is the "Year of the Pig". This week students will present their pig pens and fill out a self reflection form.
