I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! It's great to be back and it has been a pleasure hearing about the students' holiday adventures! Best Wishes to you all as we enter 2018!
This month in Language we are diving right back into our routine of weekly spelling, grammar, journal writing and reading activities. We will begin a whole class novel study based on a book written by Alexander McCall Smith called Akimbo and The Elephants.
During the next two weeks we will be continuing our Patterning Unit in Math. Please review Sections D1-D6 on IXL to help your child consolidate their learning in this area.
Later on in January we will begin our Measurement unit in Math. Throughout this unit, we will focus on measuring length,width and height using standard and non-standard units. Standard units include cm, m, while non-standard units include paper clips, cubes, fingers, feet, etc.
In Science were are continuing to work on our Liquids and Solids unit in January.
In Art we will be focusing on colours. Specifically: the colour wheel - primary and secondary colours, complimentary colours, colour tone and warm and cool colours.
Mystery Reader:
The children love discovering who our weekly Mystery Reader is. Please sign up for this. I am happy to accommodate your schedule to ensure each child is surprised by their parent, sibling or grandparent at least one time during the school year.
That's all for now! I will let you know when this blog has been updated again through your child's
agenda.
