It's February!

 It is hard to believe we are in February already!  This week we have been talking about what makes a good friend.  The students were asked to create a poster that described the steps needed to make a friend.  They were required to include transition words that we have been working on in our writing. 

In Science, we have been exploring hot and cold temperatures.  This week we did an experiment using balloons and and hot and cold water.  We observed the effects that these different temperatures had on the air inside the balloons. Students noticed that the hot water made the balloon expand and the cold water made the balloon contract.  

We also celebrated Lunar New Year.  In honour of it being The Year of the Tiger we drew our own tigers.

January 17-21

 This week we did some research about Saskatoon in Social Studies. Students were able to use several different resources to find out important facts about this city.  

In Math we played a game called guess my number.  This game helps students with their mathematical reasoning skills.  Ask your child how to play.

We have also been working on two digit addition and subtraction with regrouping.  

In writing, Students were learning the structure of instructional writing and how to use transitional words between ideas. This week we wrote a story about a haircut.  

Willy Wonka

 If your child expressed an interest in auditioning for the Willy Wonka production, they were sent home with a sheet with audition lines.  If you are unable to find the sheet I have linked it here.

Winter Break Extended

 Hi Everyone!

As you may have heard there will be no school this week.  School will resume Monday January 10th.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone then.  I hope you all enjoyed a lovely holiday break.  

I wanted to say a huge Thank-you for all the lovely cards and gifts...you really spoiled me and I truly appreciate it!  

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.
