Today in math we continued to work through our tally charts and bar graphs. Tomorrow we will do a digital activity to help us answer questions and solve problems about graphs. 

Mr. Magowan led an assembly about kindness today. We created kindness cards for the holiday season that will be delivered by one of our Woodlands families to care homes around the seniors. Hopefully we can brighten up some holiday seasons!

In literacy, we did another afternoon of activity rotations. The students did a fabulous job of rotating through their "centres" again and worked independently. I can't wait to continue with these rotations twice a week after the winter break!

REMINDERS/UPDATES

Please remember that Mathletics and Razkids are both available for your child to use at home. They are great tools to solidify reading and math skills at home, and will be available for use over the winter break.

Our class has brought in 34 items for the food bank so far! We have until Friday to bring in as many items as we can to help the less fortunate in our community. Thank you very much for your donations so far! 

Wacky winter hat day is this Friday, December 11th.

Please remember that learning will be occurring online from January 4th-8th. There will be more details on this to come before the winter break.

 I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing long weekend! In math, we worked on regrouping in place value (when there is more than 10 in the ones, tens, an hundreds, you have to "regroup" to make the number make sense). Ask your child about the activity we did with the cards and their math journals today. In social studies, we began learning about the land in Tunisia. When looking at Google Earth, we noticed that the Northern point of Tunisia is all green (so it must be forest or something!), the more central areas are mountainous and the south eastern corner is desert land. Ask your child what else they learned! We learned and practiced our s-blends today, which include an s followed by another consonant (sc, sl, st, etc). Have a nice evening!

Happy Wednesday! Today in science we brainstormed a list of ways to protect our ears. Each student chose one, and made a poster about it including the way to keep their hearing safe, and how it would help. In math we continued learning about how to solve for a missing number in an equation. Our show what you know is a little long, so we will work on it tomorrow and Friday. In language arts we learned about summarizing and completed a class summary about the story "When I Was Eight". Then students created their own summaries about the novel study How to Eat Fried Worms now that they are done the story. They made notes today, and tomorrow will turn it into a cohesive piece of writing!! We also did some more work with alliteration today and the kids have been having a great time coming up with their own tongue twisters! We had our last fire drill of the year today and the students did an excellent job, exiting and entering the building quickly and quietly a well as remaining qui...

Tomorrow we will be doing our show what you know for 3D Shapes! Next week, we will be moving onto multiplication! Earlier this week in science, we learned about how animal mothers meet their offspring's needs. Today, we learned all about animal mothers who abandon their babies and the reasons why they would do so. While sometimes it seemed a little bit harsh, we realized that the reasons for doing so were actually quite logical and reasonable! We also began to learn about different types of habitats and will be doing some research on those next week. We wrote our story outlines today to come up with a logical sequence of events for the beginning, middle, and end of our stories. We did a practice run activity, using picture prompts to create a beginning, middle and end for someone else's story and the students did a fabulous job! The first Flames game is this evening - Go Flames Go!
