WILL YOU BE COMING TO OUR FAMILY MATH GAMES EVENT ON THURSDAY?

Teachers at our school will be hosting a Family Math Games Event on Thursday, February 22 between 4:30 - 6:00 pm. Families are invited to come into the school with their kids to learn some math games that can be played at home. Each family in attendance will be provided with a 'take home kit' with some manipulatives and game directions. This event is 'drop in' where families can come at any time that works for them during this one and a half hour time frame. If you have multiple children in the school, you will visit each of their classrooms as grades have different games that your children will teach you. Teachers have sent out an email to see if your family is coming. Please reply to their email to let them know if your family WILL or WILL NOT attend our event. (We need to know so we can prepare the necessary 'take home kits' for families that will attend.)

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.

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!
