Hello Parents,
It has been another busy week at school.
Please see the posts below about parent volunteers needed on March 2nd from 9:00 to 11:00 am and Valentine's Day.
Here is what we have been working on at school:
Math - we continued to work on double digit addition and subtraction. Students have a pretty good grasp on the addition now. Subtraction is a still a challenge for some of the students. If your child is having a hard time you could practice with them by giving them 2 digit numbers to add and subtract. We are focusing on using the stacking method now that they have an understanding of regrouping - one ten is equal to ten ones.
Social Studies - we are still looking at Saskatoon. Specifically the natural resources, goods and services available there.
Science - We are still working on the unit Hot and Cold. This week we learned about how the school is heated through a boiler. Students are also doing some research about how animals are able to survive in winter - what adaptations do they have?
Language Arts - We are continuing to explore instructional writing. This week students wrote about how to be a good friend. We also looked at action words associated with certain tasks. For example action words for making pancakes - flip, mix, pour, scoop, serve.
In reading we are looking at making inferences.
We have also started talking about Black History Month. Today we learned a little bit about Rosa Parks.
In Character we are working on kindness. All of LRD is adding one thing a day to a pink heart. Something that made the smile, when someone showed them kindness, something that was positive, etc.
Have a good weekend,
Mrs. Coulling
