Welcome back. It is Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to the Home and School for preparing a wonderful week.

We will be celebrating Valentines Day in class Thursday afternoon. Students may hand out Valentines. A reminders that unhealthy snacks, chocolates, etc. are not permitted as per provincial policy.

A notice will be sent home next week as well in regards to STEM Fair (a.k.a. Science Fair). Please refer to your child’s reading bag early next week.

*** Please ensure white homework binders are brought to school on Mondays for student’s weekly work and reading bags daily ***

French – Our sound of the week will be “eu” and our poem of the week will be about Cupid and friends. We will begin a new unit about animals and pets. A notice has been sent home in your child’s/children’s reading bag.

Guided reading will also take place with myself during our Daily 5. Whilst a group is reading, others will be working in various centers. Students will receive new book within a 4 day cycle to be brought home along with their new sound and song/poem sheet of the week.

Math – Students wrote their math test on addition and subtraction Thursday. Some students need to complete this week. Test will be corrected and sent home by Friday. This week we will be reviewing multiplication and how our doubles (math facts) assist.  Please feel free to go to Learn Alberta website found in my web linksto practice various outcomes. Math Reflex is also another great resource that students have been practice here at school.

Health – We continue to look at how we can take care of ourselves with an introduction to the theme (i.e. eat healthy, be active, etc.) We will also be talking about emotions and feelings.

Please refer to our school website regularly for important information and postings. 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 :)

REMINDERS:

Please do not forget snow pants and mitts for outdoor recess.
