Dear Families,
Although it has been a short week at school, it has once again been very busy!
The students finished their St. Patrick’s Day unit on Monday, it was great to see so many students and staff wearing green to celebrate! We have been working on St. Patrick’s Day art, reading, writing, and science. In Language Arts the students read books, listened to read aloud, matched words and wrote sentences all about the things we see on this day. We also took part this week in the school-wide event ‘Drop Everything and Read’ through enjoying books when we heard the special chimes played on the announcements. What a great way to build a love of reading! The students finished the week by thinking about characters that we see in some of our favourite stories, and having class discussions about how the look and act. We also celebrated the end of winter, finally! Our lovely Ms. Burton dressed up to sing about the changing seasons in the style of Bruno Mars!
In Math, we have been working on number bonds. The students are exploring different ways to make numbers and how to add two numbers together to make a whole. We are using a variety of visual strategies to make number bonds, such as our fingers, counters and blocks, and listening to math songs to help build understanding of this concept.
The students finished the week with some hands-on science experiments and made some fizzing shapes! They chose a shape, and used glue to keep baking soda on the lines. They then used their fine motor skills to use a spray bottle to add vinegar to each shape. It is fun to see the fizzing and bubbly shapes appear! We also made green play dough to squish, play with, strengthen student fingers and practice measuring.
It is starting to get more mild outside, which everyone has been enjoying at lunch time on the playground. We are hoping to spend even more time outside after spring break through outdoor learning and community walks.
Thank you to all parents that attended our online Parent/Teacher Conferences. It is always great to have a chance to connect and celebrate all of the learning and success from the past few months!
