March 18-22

Posted: March 18, 2013

Welcome back! Science Fair will consume much of our time this week. A reminder that I will continue to set aside time tomorrow for students to complete their projects. From what I saw today, judges will have a difficult time choosing. Your time and effort at home is much appreciated. Parents are welcome to school on Friday afternoon as well to view all expositions. In French, our focus will be neighbourhoods and what surrounds us. We will also incorporate Easter acitivites throughout the week as well. Just a note, that cursive writing will take place in class throughout the following weeks. Math duo-tangs were sent home today. Please complete and return Lesson 5 question 1 for Wednesday. I would ask that students also take the same questions and see if they are able to come up with the correct answer by subtracting. I suggest that students take a few minutes each night and complete a virtual mental math game from the the link I posted last week. 50% of our provincial exam will focus on number outcomes, and these games provide a great opportunity to strengthen their mental math capabilities. Today for instance we focused in the adding and subtracting waterslide game found in the ages 7-11 section under the adding and subtracting tab. Give them and try and feel free to let me know how things go. In social studies, we are continuing to write a book about where we live. We also have been exploring different water courses i.e. steams, rivers, gulf, bay, ocean in and around NB and the Maritimes. ***Reminder*** Wedsday - popcorn Thursday - library Friday - Science Fair and Scholastic Book order
