February 21-24

Hello Families!

I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather after such a cold week! The most common question in our class this week was 'When is it going to warm up so we can play in the snow?' Lots of movement breaks were had for sure in Room 13.

In Writer's Workshop this week we read the book 'Refection in Me' and brainstormed about ourselves-things that we can do, things that we are and things that we have. So many wonderful, positive words were written!




In Science, as a lead up to Building Things, the students were given a STEAM challenge of building a tower where no two materials alike could be touching. As we move into this unit, students will be able to use their critical thinking to change their approach to this challenge to be more successful with their towers!






In Math, we continue to learn helpful strategies for solving addition equations! Ask your child how they can use a number line.

 Hello Families, We had the amazing opportunity to have HAWKS land in our field on Monday. We watched the landing, asked questions, sketched and then watched the helicopter take off! What a great way to start the week. In Science, we have continued our learning about different animals, focusing on what they each, where they live, what they look like and finding out interesting facts. The students have begun to create their own booklets or posters to share their information gathered with their peers. In Math, we have been focusing on shapes and being able to describe their attributes. The students created Wanted posters to share their knowledge of 2D shapes and 3D objects. With the new Wellness Curriculum, we discussed Boundaries and how to communicate them as well as who is in our Relationship circles as Family, friends and acquaintances in our lives. Ask your child what their boundaries were and who they put in their relationship circle! Our school could win $10 000! Please visit the

 Hello Families, 30 x 30 Outdoor Challenge We continued to enjoy our time outside this week. Whether is was with our grade 3 buddies or on our own, we were able to get outside every day! We even cleaned up the perimeter of the field one morning. We will continue to be going outside everyday. We do ask you to put sunscreen or bug spray on your child before they come to school. If you are sending it for them to put on, please ensure they know how to do it themselves and that they know not to share with others. Thank you! Math Fractions have been a big part of our lessons these past two weeks and wow, did the students ever pick up on what a fraction was! Learning terms such as numerator, denominator, whole, part, partition, equal and unequal helped them complete their pizza fractions and name fractions with ease! Here are a few examples. Literacy We have been working on learning the rules of bossy 'r'! Each morning our Opening task has had us unscrambling letters to find a differe

  Hello families! We had a great start to the school year this week! Students enjoyed getting to know each other and slowly getting back into the routine of school. We learned a lot about classroom routines and materials and are easing into school work. Students enjoyed some reading time, playing games in the gym, building and free choice time on Friday. Soft Entry On Tuesday, teachers will be outside to meet students in the morning from 8:00-8:10. Starting on Wednesday morning, we will begin our soft entry in the morning. When students arrive at school they will come in the doors near the garden and will make their way down to the classroom. Doors will be open from 8:00-8:10. Students will be engaged in a morning activity and instructional time will begin at 8:10am. If you are late, please go to the front doors instead.  Placemats During snack time students will be using placemats in their space as part of our Montessori practical-life learning. Our laminated placemats don't hol
