Another great week at Gretna Green awaits us. Only 3 more weeks until March Break!    French - Our daily routine continues. All activities this week will have a Valentine’s theme to it. Please ensure reading takes place for 15 minutes each evening. All students are progressing well and are on track to be reading level F books by March...bravo!   Thursday, we will hand out our Valentines and share a few homemade goodies J         Math- We will be finishing our unit on time and space by studying perimeter this week. Friday we will have a quiz on the calendar, estimation and measurement. Our next unit will be adding and subtracting with answers to 1000. Please practice mental math and estimation strategies such as adding and subtracting (adding from left to right, using doubles and/or a number line, skip counting and taking numbers to the nearest multiple of ten) at home. Please contact me if you would like further clarification. Social Studies - We continue to learn about New Brunswick. Later on, we will be creating maps based on a fictional city/town.    ***Reminders*** * Drama continues this week on Monday and Wednesday after school. Remember to make arrangements to get picked up at 3:30 if you are in Drama! * Tuesday Spell-A-Thon begins * Wednesday is popcorn day * Thursday is library and PINK Shirt Day. Valentines cards also handed out. * Skating Thursday as well (weather permitting) from 10-11. Volunteer “skate tiers” are welcome :) We will also have some hot chocolate after skating.
