In Science we have started our inquiry on Our Five Senses.  Ask your child about which ones we have talked about so far!  Ask about the 3 parts of the eye we have looked at! (cornea, pupil, sclera)





Read-A-Thon: going home today is a BLUE newsletter that will explain our upcoming school wide activity on READING!!  I hope you will all participate!

Ones... Tens... Hundreds.... no we're not talking about money currency!  PLACE VALUE!!!  the number 345 can be described as 3 hundreds, 4 tens and 5 ones!  In Math we are comparing numbers and their place!

Hooray!!  We reached our goal of 55 gems!!! As our reward we have chosen to play games tomorrow.  Your child can bring a board game/multi person game to school to share with their classmates.  Please make sure it is a game they know how to play and can teach their friends.

Please continue working on reading these sight words quickly!

Math: 

We have been working on organizing numbers, before and after and greater/less than, equal to. 

Social: Mr. Shayler taught us the Rabbit Dance!  What a fun way to end our inquiry on our Past and connecting it to our Indigenous Canadian roots!  Here is a link to the story we read: https://rv.srsd119.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/The-Story-of-the-Rabbit-Dance.pdf

Cards anyone?

Playing card games to practice our adding and subtracting skills!  Ask your child to teach you some games!

KINDESS... we have been working on the idea of kindness to ourselves, others and the environment.  What ways can we show kindness?  We have also been using our five senses to describe what kindness would look, smell, taste, sound and feel like!  We had some great ideas!

100th DAY: FRIDAY, FEB 21, 2020
1. 100th day PROJECTS... still time to bring yours in tomorrow!
2. 100th day CELEBRATION... dress up like you're 100 years old!

Library & Home Reading Books:
Please bring your library and home reading books back each week to exchange them for new ones.  If you have lost your home reading please let Miss Li so you can get a new one.

SICKNESS:
if your child is not well, please consider keeping them at home as there have been many germs passing through our classroom.  A day or two at home keeps the rest of us healthy!



Social Studies: We were museum curators today sharing our artifacts with friends from other classes and grades!  We did a great job of speaking clearly and slowly.
