Hello,
What a fast week it was. Students are very excited about the short week and Valentines Day coming up. If your child is wanting to bring Valentine cards on Monday the list of first names is posted below, please ensure that they have one for every student. Monday is also casual day and students can wear red, pink or purple or other casual clothes.
I am still in need of 2 parent volunteers for Teacher's Pet our Exploring Liquids in school field trip. See below. Please email me alcoulling@cbe.ab.ca if you are able to join us. Thank you.
Next week is a short week for students. We only have school Monday to Wednesday and then it is Teacher's Convention. Due to this and the fact that we are asking students to complete a Science project at home the homework posted on Sunday will be a two week assignment and due Friday February 25th. There will be no homework due or spelling test next week.
We had a busy week. This week in math we did centres which allowed me to sit with all of the students in a small group and check in on their 2 digit addition and subtraction and problem solving. Many students have this concept and others are still struggling with regrouping. This will be the math assignment in the homework.
In Science we talked about the role of insulation and how homes are heated with a furnace or a boiler.
In Language Arts students practiced writing how to tips to elevate their instructional writing. Next week they will be doing some expert writing on an animal of their choosing.
In Social Studies, we are finishing up with Saskatoon. We will be completing an art project next week. We will also do a review of our three communities - Meteghan, Iqaluit and Sasktoon.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Coulling
