In wellness students have been focusing on teamwork and cooperation and learning the importance of working together. We played the knot game today in our class, it was SO much fun. Students worked together to help eachother get out of their knots.

Yesterday in Science students created homemade Kazoo's to help them understand how sound travels. Students brought home these yesterday.

 Hello Families!

I hope you had a wonderful break with your friends and family! It. Students were in good spirits despite all of the snow outside! It looks like it will be indoor recesses for the majority of the week. If you have an easily transported board or card game that you wouldn't mind sharing with the class for recess that would be much appreciated! Students continue to work on building their number sense with number of the day. Please see an example below to practice up to at home. Right now we are working on numbers up to 10,000.

Please see this weeks spelling words below

 Hello Families!

Please remember we do not have school tomorrow, Friday or Monday due to teacher's convention and Family day. Please see below for an update of what we have been up to!

In language arts students have been working hard to write at least three sentences every day with proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. We have been practicing and introducing new spelling words each week to strengthen students confidence in writing.

In math we have been focusing on place value and strengthening students understanding up to numbers of 100,000.

In Social Studies students have been learning about Peru. It's textiles, food and culture. Students drew a Llama and painted a background similar to a Peruvian blanket.

In wellness our class has focused on positive self talk and growth mindset. Students have been learning the value of talking to them self with kindness and viewing mistakes as road blocks rather than failures. As part of wellness students have been partaking in weekly STEM (science technology engineering and math) challenges. See last weeks challenge below;

Create a heart shape tower using plastic cups and card stock. 

                                You will need to create the shape of a heart using red plastic cups. 

Remember to use positive self-talk and have a growth mindset throughout this challenge!

                                                                   

Have a wonderful weekend!

Have a great night!

Valentines Day

 Hi everyone!

Students are welcomed to bring valentines on Tuesday February 14. Your child can either write to my friend or leave them blank as this makes them easier to distribute.

 Students love this tradition and it does promote kindness within our community. We are not sharing food but if your child would like to bring their own personal snack they are more than welcome to do so!
