Happy Monday to all! It is hard to believe that we are already into our first week of February. This week, we will continue our theme on winter. We will be filming our "Bonjour l'hiver" video on Thursday. I have attached the link on my page. Please practice at home if you have a chance. I would like (if possible) that everyone bring a scarf from home for the video. Friday, we will be "Skyping" with the immersion students from St. Andrews.  Valentines is just around the corner. We will be incorporating this theme as well into our weekly writing. The 14th is "Pink Shirt Day" at school. I was wondering if any parent(s) would be interested in baking some peanut-free goodies for the class that day? If so, please contact me :) In math, we are learning to use rulers. We are studying length and height of objects in mm, cm and m's. Feel free to practice withyour child at home. It's also a great opportunity to throw in some addition and subtraction problems. With that being said, we practice our doubles up to 12+12 +/- 1, substraction and multiplication up to 5x5 daily. Please practice whenever you have a chance with your child at home. I use playing cards in class to help masters basic addition and subtraction facts. When it comes to writing problems out, I have your child use a number line and/or round each number out to the nearest whole number to find their solution i.e. 83+24 =  80+20=100 and 3+4 = 7 therefore the sum is 107. The same goes for substraction. We are striving for the most effecient solution and not necessarily the most effective. Please contact em if you have any questions? In social studies, we are continuing our theme on New Brunwwick. This week we will see where we are situated in comparison to other Canadian provinces. From there, we will investigate where Miramichi and other NB cities are located. Homework: - read 15 minutes each night - cursive writing litter Bb - practice reading letter B sheet *** Please return book bags each day to school*** Reminders: Wednesday is popcorn day Thursday is library day Friday (fingers crossed) we will be skating from 9 - 9:45. Please remember to bring your helmets. If you have any question, comments or concerns please contact me. We can make arrangements to speak if need be. Cheers!
