Thank you for reading our blog!  This year the Blog will be posted each Friday by 4pm.

Information

This week we had our library orientation.  Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were not able to sign out books.  However, this coming Thursday, students will be able to bring library books home.

The deadline for Scholastic orders has been extended until Monday.  (If students handed in orders today, I will submit those orders tonight).

Home Folders

Please remove any items in the home folder each night and have your child return the home folder to school every day.

Meet the Teacher

Meet the teacher is next Thursday evening and Friday.  I am hoping to meet with all families during this time.  A school messenger will be sent out tonight around 6 pm with more information about how to sign up for a time slot.  Students are welcome to come with their parents, or parents can meet individually with the teacher.

What we are working on:

Language Arts

-Reading strategies to decode words

-Picking “just right books”

-We reviewed printing and have been working towards completing more independent writing

Math:  Creating, describing and extending patterns

We will be moving into number patterns and counting by 2, 5 and 10 to 100 both forwards and backwards

Science:  We have had some time to experiment with magnets and students have started to generate questions, which we will try to answer over the coming weeks.  (E.g., Why do 2 magnets sometimes stick together, while other times they seem push apart?)

Social Studies: Developing an understanding of our community, city, province and country
