Welcome back! This week was compact due to the inclement weather we experienced.  A reminder to students to dress appropriately for recess. We will try to go skating as well in February once the temperature cooperates.

I received an e-mail from Lisa Harris’s office. We are in the process of scheduling a time for her to come visit the class, view our social studies presentations, and speak to us about the role of government in the province and Canada as a whole.

French - We reviewed the elements for procedural writing this week. Monday we will commence our introductions. Our next major writing assignment will be a procedural writing piece. As always, spelling test and comprehension tasks take part on Friday’s. We also correct our weekly comprehension homework every Friday a.m.

Math – This week we reviewed of multiplication and division unit. Test Friday. Our next unit of study will be Patterns. Students are encouraged to practice their Mathletics at home. There is also many links to various math activities that students are encouraged to visit and play on my teacher page under “web links.” Please notify me if you wish to have any additional works sent home to practice.

Science - We continue to learn about habitats. We will try again next week to go outdoors and observe various habitats. I ask students to please bring in a shoe box to school if they have one at home.They will be used towards the end of the month to create their own unique habitat.

Health - We reviewed daily recommendations from the Canada’s Food Guide. Next week students will be creating healthy meal options by cutting out and gluing food items from weekly flyers.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at school. I will respond via phone call as promptly as I can. Let’s have a great week! Cheers.
