Good afternoon,
We had quite a busy first week back in room 12. We have a student teacher, Mr. Hochhalter (Mr. H) joining our class from now until the end of February. The students have been so kind and welcoming!
Questions to promote discussion at home:
-What animal are you researching? (Polar bears. So far, we have drawn a polar bear and labelled a diagram. You can ask your child something interesting they learned about the colour of a polar bear's fur and skin).
-What are you going to be making in social studies? (we are building a pop-up community with lots of services)
-What did you do in math this week? (problem-solving and addition facts)
-What is an adjective? (adjectives are describing words, they help make our writing more exciting. We did a snowman writing piece where students had to describe with detail what the snowmen were doing.)
