Dec. 21st Update


Art

We have been learning about the significance of cedar and birch bark in social studies. This week students had the opportunity to use these materials to create artwork. 











Social Studies

On Thursday our class welcomed a family member in to speak with us. He shared about his family's journey to Canada, and their past. This was a special learning experience for all of us!






Our learning wall is growing! Students will be working on their own inquiry projects when we return from the Winter Break. Grade 2 students will formulate questions about a celebration that they are curious about. Grade 3 students will formulate questions about the Early Settlers and the challenges they faced. Both grades will have time to research, and then create a google slide to share their new learning.



Math

In January we will learn about strategies for subtracting double, and triple digit numbers while investigating the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Writing and Portfolios

We have officially published our Small Moment stories! Students were excited to bring their stories home today, you made have already seen it before reading this post! Please see your child's portfolio for the assessment including next steps in writing. 

Winter Break

I wish all families a wonderful winter break! I look forward to seeing all of my students again in January. Here are some ideas for things to do over the winter break:

  • get outside! Go hiking and look for animal tracks, and birds
  • play board games, and other games with dice
  • visit the Aurora Public Library 
  • make crafts using recycled materials
  • enjoy the down time and catch up on sleep!
