Hello,
It was nice to see most of you in person last night at the Willy Wonka performance. The students prepared for the night very intensely and were so excited to be at First Alliance to preform. This week was very busy with rehearsals and being out of routines. I think that next week will be more calm. We will be preparing for the assembly though this is Monday, May 2nd. At this time, parents are still not allowed to attend in person. It will be filmed and sent out. All grade twos will be preforming the song "That's Not Fair" so please have your child practice.
Our class and Ms. Stephenson's class will also be preforming this rap. Please have your child practice this is well. Thanks.
Here are some of the things that we have been up to in the classroom.
Writing - we have been working on great beginnings for our narrative stories. Most students have this idea now so we are moving on to adding elaborative detail. That is adding detail to a story critical character, setting or object. This leads us into the problem of a story nicely.
Math - We are finishing up with measurement. Next week we will be focusing on some word problems and circling back to double digit addition and subtraction. I have sent home the students mad minutes from the week today for you to see and continue to practice. We are looking for automaticity with the facts.
Science - We are looking at the final outcomes in our unit of Exploring Liquids. We will be focusing on the water cycle next week. Beginning in May we will do working on our final unit of Boats and Buoyancy which logically follows liquids.
Social Studies - We are continuing our look at Calgary and how it compares to our other 3 communities of study.
Reading - Students have been working on making connections to what they read.
I hope that you have a great weekend,
Mrs. Allison Coulling
