1 Week until Winter Break

 This may be the last post before the break, but it is still full of lots of important information so be sure to read to the end. 

Homework- Homework for this week/the first week back has been posted. I would like to emphasize that this is NOT homework for the break. It is intended to be for this week and/or the first week back at school (no homework will be posted on January 2nd), depending on how you can best fit it into your schedule. The break should be spent having fun with family, making memories, and not stressing about schoolwork. Read with your children, make it a family bonding time, to maintain reading throughout the year. 

If you child did not bring their magnet project on Friday, please have them bring it tomorrow as we will be sharing them in class.  

Over the past few weeks we have been working on descriptive sentences.  After reading the book "How do bears sleep?"  the students were given the basic sentence "The bear is sleeping" and they had to add descriptive words to embellish it.  Students also created an art piece using oil pastel and watercolour paint.  They used their knowledge of patterning to create their own pattern on the bears quilt.  

We have also had the pleasure of having a student teacher (Ms. Fatica) join our classroom for the last few weeks.  We are fortunate that she has a background in yoga and she created a yoga routine for our class to help keep us calm and centred.
