April 29th - May 1st

Posted: April 29, 2013

This week will be a short week for students. There is NO school on Thursday and Friday. Teachers are involved in PD sessions on Thursday and NBTA meetings on Friday. *** A reminder that drama continues this Monday and Wednesday. Please ensure that you check your schedule at home to know what day you are to attend.   *** If you have a 2L plastic pop bottle, could you please send it in with your child tomorrow or Wednesday? So far, 7 students have brought one in. I have 2 or 3 at home that I will bring in as well. I would like to build greenhouses for science. If we are short, I will pair students up. French - We continue to incorporate “Spring” as our theme. Reading books have been exchanged and read during Daily 5 a.k.a. “Les Super 5” today. Please make sure to read your book this evening and Tuesday. Wednesday we will be writing about our book in our reading journal. We also began preparing for our video in May. We spent some time writing our script. We will continue to do so for the next 2-3 weeks. Math - We continue to work on multiplication and division. Red duo-tangs are sent home to show parents what we are currently learning. Continue to practice your doubles +/-1 at home. Multiplication and division up to 5x5 can be added into the mix. Students have been taught that the 1st number represent the # of groups and the 2nd represent the # in each group for multiplication, whereas the opposite is applied in division. Science - We continue to learn about plants. Students have been really enthusiastic about the subject J Health - We are learning about our 5 senses. I incorporate many songs and videos with this particular unit. Finally, we will finish of the week on Wednesday with an assembly. Patty Cakes will be donating cupcakes to all students in recognition of our SPCA Fundraiser that has been promoted on GG’s website.  ***Reminders*** Wednesday is popcorn day
