Hello families!

We had a small class today! We do not have school tomorrow, Friday, December 8th. It is a non-instructional day. I hope that everyone starts to feel better and rests over the weekend!

This morning, we read "The Wish Tree". We learned about kindness and how to make a wish for the world. We wrote about what kind of wish we wanted to make for the world. Then, we put our wish on our school's wish tree! Ask me what I wished for!







We continued working with patterns in math. We learned how to create the same pattern using different materials.




We started learning about communities in social studies! We began by reading the book "The Circles All Around Us". We learned how we are a part of big and small communities - like our family community and our continent community! We started drawing what communities we belong to.

Thursday, June 27th  is our school-wide PLAY DAY and EARLY DISMISSAL! As we will be outside, students should dress for the weather, bring a water bottle, and come with sunscreen already applied (teachers cannot help with this task). We will be celebrating Play Day by having Freezies! If you do not want your child to have a school-provided Freezie on this day, please email me as soon as possible and send an alternative treat to school for your child to enjoy. We will be finished school this day at 1:05 p.m. as it is an early dismissal day! Our theme for Play Day this year is... Dress like a SUPERHERO!

 Our learning in English Language Arts & Literature: We learned how to read words with the suffix -le this week! These are words like turtle, humble, and apple! We continued researching rabbits. This week we focused on the rabbit's habitat and predators, and sketched the parts of a rabbit with labels! Our learning in Math: We started learning about subtraction this week! We learned about how to put the bigger number first and how to use different strategies to help us solve the questions. Our learning in Science: We started learning about the needs of plants and animals this week!  We focused on what are living things and non-living things are and how to sort them. This started some really interesting conversations! We began germinating pea seeds to see how they grow. We looked at the parts of a sunflower, labelled important parts of the plant, and learned why these parts are important! We went outside with magnifying glasses to explore nature!
