Hello Families.
Below are the events and reminders for the week. If you have any questions, please email us.
Math: Students wrote their final subtraction test and this will be coming home this week. We will be starting multiplication this week. Students will be doing multiplication donut drills daily, so it would be beneficial for all students to practice their multiplication facts each night. We will also be starting traditional multiplication of two digit numbers by one digit numbers, as well as, two digit numbers by two digit numbers.
Reading and Writing: This week we will read chapters 7 and 8 from Number the Stars and students will complete a list of questions and wonders they’ve had up to this point in the novel. Students will make a connection to these chapters by explaining a time in their life when they were brave.
Science: In science we will beplanning and building our cardboard arcade games.
Social Studies: In social studies, we will be working on creating our posters or slideshows for the numbered treaties.
Physical Education: This week we will start with a fitness circuit and then we will continue with basketball skills.
Art: We will colour our guided drawing of an ox. We will also create special winter and spring art using yarn and chalk pastels.

Families on Property- Ensuring the well-being of our school community is our number one priority. We are noticing that there is some congestion occurring on all sides of the school. This is a reminder that families should drop off/pick up children at the edges of the school property. We also remind you that mask usage is a protective measure where it is not possible to maintain physical distance. This would be the case for adults at all times on our property and is in alignment with our staff's health and safety plan. Thank you for working together with us to help keep our school healthy.
Please contact out Principal, Sara Salemink, at ssalemink@saanichschools.ca if you have questions. We are all in this together.
INDOOR SHOES: As the weather turns, we ask you to send a pair of indoor shoes with your child. It is preferable to have the shoes stay in the classroom but it is also okay to have them in the backpack if they need to go back and forth between school and home.
