Hello,
Only two more weeks until Spring Break! There is no school next Friday. We will be having virtual parent interviews next Thursday March 10th from 4 to 8 pm and Friday from 8 to noon. Please sign up for a time to meet with me for 15 minutes to discuss your child's progress. There will be homework posted on Sunday that is due Thursday March 10th, this is also when the spelling test will be.
On Wednesday we had Teacher's Pet for an in school field trip. This was a great introduction to our new Science Unit of Exploring Liquids.
Students were excited to change a liquid into a solid and sample a lemonade slushy. We also learned about density, absorbency, evaporation.
We will be continuing to look at this topic into April.
Social Studies - we have finished a google slides project in partners going deeper into one aspect of one of the three countries on study.
Next week we will be looking at the water crisis in Iqaluit as it ties into Social Studies as well as the Science topic of water.
We will be finishing instructional writing next week and starting climbing stories. Next week students will be doing a final instructional writing piece.
In math we have been continuing with addition and subtraction of two digit numbers. Must students have this concept now. If they are still struggling I will be mentioning it in your interview. Next week we will be working on some problem solving using a calendar as well as starting non standard measurement before spring break.
Have a good weekend,
Mrs. Coulling
