Good afternoon, 

This week we continued to work on measurement. We learned how to measure using our feet. We also learned about ESTIMATING. Click below for 2 games you can play at home!

Level 1

Level 2

In science, we continued learning about the needs of living things and how seeds can travel and spread. 

We are making great progress on our social studies projects. We have decorated our boxes with drawings of our families, our favourite things, country flags, and of course a self-portrait. We also worked on our personal timelines. We can't wait to share this with you!

Reminders:

• PLEASE continue to send a water bottle with your child to school daily. As the weather gets warmer we want to make sure that everyone stays hydrated.
• We have TWO field trips coming up. We are going bowling on June 6 and 7. We will be walking up the street from our school to Toppler Bowl! This is definitely a memorable experience for the students.
• On JUNE 14 we are going to Heritage Park. I need 5 volunteers with CBE police clearance. Please email me ASAP if you are interested so that I can give a volunteer form to your child. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Good afternoon,

We had a week full of fun! We made a super special Father's Day gift with Ms. Kelly from Clay for Kids. The students did a WONDERFUL job. We cannot wait to show you!

In math we learned two new symbols: greater than and less than. We think of an alligator when we use these symbols; the alligator always wants his mouth open to the greater number!

In writing, we wrote stories. We are practicing editing our work-if we can't read it, we need to fix it! We are working on always using an upper case letter to start sentences and a period at the end of each sentences. We are continuing to really stretch out sounds when spelling more challenging words. 

In science we have started on unit on the needs of living things. We planted bean seeds today and will be watching them grow!

SOCIAL STUDIES

Last Wednesday (Apr 27), I sent home a form to collect photos and information about your child as we will use this in a social studies project. A digital copy can be found HERE if you need it. I understand that this is a lot of info and items to collect, so if you need until next week, that is okay!

Also, if you have extra shoe boxes, please send them in so that all students can have one.

Please note this is different than what is assigned in the homework file for May 2-6! The homework was to interview an adult about their past!

Thank you for your support with this big social studies project! I hope that when we are done this is a keepsake you can hold on to and cherish!
