Big things to note today, please:

Tomorrow is Pancake Tuesday meaning your child can choose to not bring a lunch if they prefer pancakes.

Wednesday is our trip to Island Lake Park to see the making of maple syrup. We will be back at the school for lunch.

Thursday is GREEN day to celebrate St. Patrick's Day which we miss. So, green, green, green!!!!

Friday is report card day. Yay!

Today we played with 2D shapes to make objects such as trucks, ships, flowers, etc. The students had so much fun with this. 

They also wrote about their inventions. This is harder than they thought, naming their invention, describing it, and listing the shapes used to make them. 

In Language Arts, we have a package of word boxes, word searches, and fill in the blank sentences reviewing words from the past several weeks. 

Have a lovely evening.

Wow, it's March!

Today, we worked with glue and toothpicks making 2D shapes - square, rectangle, triangle, trapezoid and hexagon. Then the students were to create their own design.

In Language Arts, we finished our OWA assessment. Later in Unit, the students painted or finished building their inventions. This has been a fun time.

We look forward to the IB assembly Tuesday as well as pancakes. Wednesday is our Maple Syrup trip. 

Have a lovely weekend. I know some students are sick. I trust they will get the rest they need and this flu bug starts to leave.

Greetings:

Tomorrow is Pink Day in honour of standing up for the freedom to wear whatever colour we choose. Everyone can and should wear pink. 

Today, the students organized their shapes booklets. Some are on display on the class door. They took amazing pictures. 

Their inventions are slowly coming together. Thank goodness for duct tape!!!!

Please fill in the trip forms and return them by tomorrow or Friday. I am excited for this little jaunt to a sugar bush. 

Have a safe evening.

Hello!

Today, the students started to place and glue their photos of 2d and 3d shapes from their homes and neighbourhood. Hopefully, these are finished tomorrow. 

We worked on our inventions. These need to be done by next Wednesday. 

We also did a 2 digit by 2 digit addition scavenger hunt. I will let them explain this.
