We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Friday, February 13th. We will be doing a Valentine's card exchange. We are asking that students do not bring in any food to share (candies, chocolates, etc.) due to allergies. If your child cannot remember the names of their classmates, they can simply just write their own name in the 'From' section!
***Student Activity Fees*** Please remember to pay your child's student activity fees via School Cash On Line promptly. Many students have not yet paid and we have many special crafts, activities and a trip to Upper Canada Village to attend and pay for. If your family is having difficulty paying, please call the school office and let them know. Thank you to those families who have already paid!
In math, we have begun our new unit on patterning. This week our focus is on number patterns (both growing and shrinking).
In language we continue to work on our non-fiction animal reports. Students are writing three paragraphs with each paragraph focusing on a particular aspect of their animal. They must determine the important facts that work together to write paragraphs that will help their peers learn about the animal they have chosen. We are writing in complete paragraphs which include an opening sentence, three supporting details, and a closing sentence. Once finished they will present their project to their peers.
Last Thursday you should have received a package filled with work your child has done. Inside the package you should have found a reading comprehension assignment titled "Snowshoe Adventure". Comprehension is being able to reflect and understand the deeper meanings in a story and being able to answer questions about that content without the "answer" always being directly written in the text. It is the ability to infer, and to respond to a question using support from the text to prove/support your answer. Please refer to the assignment that was sent home and look at the marking rubric ( Scoring and Exemplars) to see how your child is progressing.
