December 22nd Update!

Social Studies

Here are the pictures of the dioramas that the Grade 3 students created!  Next, we will explore what happened when the Europeans arrived. The Grade 2 students will begin a project focusing on a celebration that they would like to learn more about.

Writing

The Small Moments stories are completed and were sent home today! Lots of effort went into crafting these pieces over the last couple of months. The final product is truly worth celebrating! I encouraged students to share these stories with family and friends over the holiday season. I also mentioned that this is the type of work that should be saved away as it is fun to look at again many years down the road!

Portfolios

The green portfolios went home today with the writing assessment. Please review this with your child as this assessment contains important feedback to help students grow as writers. These portfolios should be sent back to school signed in January. 

Math

We will continue to learn about strategies for subtraction in the first week of January. There will be a test for addition, subtraction, and perimeter likely in the second week of January but I will provide communication around this a week before the test. Subtraction War is a fun card game that students have learned this week. It is a great way to practise mental math subtraction at home. I encourage students to teach this game to their families over the winter break!

Enjoy the Winter Break! I look forward to seeing everyone again in 2018!
