February 25th Updates

 Hello,

I hope that you are all doing well.  We are happy here at school to see that the temperature will be warming up again.  It is hard to believe that is is March already next week!

I am still looking for at least one more parent volunteer for next Wednesday March 2nd for Teacher's Pet Exploring Liquids.  This is our in school field trip.  Our class has our session from 9 to 11 am so it would be a commitment of 8:45 to 11:00.  If you have a current police clearance and are available please email me.  Thanks.

Homework - just a reminder to use the checklist at the beginning of the homework posted to ensure that your child is completing all of the necessary components.  Quite a few students missed writing about how they built their insulator this week.  Thanks.

What have we been up to in room 17?

Social Studies.  We did some art about the Saskatoon landscape in the past 2 weeks.  Please see below.

We have finished talking about Saskatoon individually.   We are now working on a review and comparison of the three different communities.  We will be working in partners next week on a google slide show presentation about one aspect studies such as climate in Meteghan or natural resources in Saskatoon etc.

Science

We are finishing up our Hot and Cold unit.  

Here is a picture of the different insulators brought in today.

We will be having a review of the unit on Monday so students can show me what they know and then we are moving on to our new unit Exploring Liquids.

Math

We have been doing some number sense review this week and continuing with double digit addition and subtraction.   It has been part of the homework for the last two weeks so you can check if your child is understanding or continues to need to practice this skill.

Language Arts 

We have continued exploring Instructional writing.  Students chose an animal and did some research about it.  They then wrote in the perspective of the animal.  We worked on editing and they will be making a good copy next week.

In reading students have been continuing to build their decoding, fluency, and comprehension.  We have been talking about making connections as we read.

Please reach out at any time if you have questions,

Mrs. Coulling
