Parts of a Plant

We watched a fun video today to start off our units on Growth and Changes in Pants and Soils, I will be teaching these two final units together. Here is a link to the video.  What are the parts of a plant?

WELCOME BACK!

I hope that everyone had an amazing and very relaxing March Break!

We have a busy week ahead of us! This weeks word wall words are the same as the week before March Break. They are difficult words so I wanted to give them some more time to learn them. Our Word Wall Words (except, usually, used to, impossible, possible) are almost done for the year so we will soon just be focusing on a big review for the year.

MATH - we will have a quick quiz this Wednesday for addition and subtraction, Reviews will be done at school and I will be sending home a quick review sheet for homework tonight! Our next unit is on multiplication and division. Students are required to learn their facts up to 7 times tables.

LANGUAGE - We will continue working on Persuasive Writing this week. Don't be surprised if the students are trying to be very convincing at home.

SCIENCE - This week we will begin our new unit on Growth and Changes in Plants. Hopefully the weather will start to get nicer soon!

DRAMA - The children are writing "Practise Drama" in every section of their agenda's. I will be expecting that they have memorized their lines by the end of the week!

Phhewwww that's all for now!

Week BEFORE March Break!!

We are half way there boys and girls! Pheeww! We are all looking forward to a little break for sure. I wish everyone a safe and happy break to spend time with family and friends. I will admit that I am super jealous of those whom are heading South!

We are wrapping up our unit on addition and subtraction this week and will have a short quiz when we get back from March Break. We will then begin multiplication! The students are excited for this.

We have also started our persuasive unit in language and have recorded Green Screen commercials. They will all be uploaded onto our Youtube channel hopefully before March break!

Technology Trek!

We are holding a Technology Trek today! We have some very special visitors coming from St. Clare Catholic School coming today. We are going to be highlighting all the technology we have done so far this year. (QR Quest Codes, Green Screen, Mathletics and a variety of Ipad apps).

Green Screen is something new that we are learning so the teachers from St. Clare will be learning along with us! Stay tuned! I will post our Green Screen Videos once they are finished!

Trip Trap Trip Trap

We prayed for nicer weather this morning. The students can hardly wait to get outside to really enjoy our Canadian Winters the way they are suppose too!

Language/Drama

The students are super excited to start practising their lines for our upcoming production of "Trip Trap Trip Trap  - On Our Way to School".  Each of their respective parts will be handed out to them on Tuesday. We will be spending some time in class practising their lines and the children are also expected to start memorizing the lines at home as well. I will send an update as to when we will be ready for showtime closer to the date.

National Gallery of Canada

We had an awesome visit from the National Gallery of Canada this morning. The student were certainly engaged in the Arts and learned about artists such as Velino Herrera, Ruth Start and Wassily Kandinsky. We made great connections to Math and Art as well. The students enjoyed choosing their favourite painting and talking about what they saw. A BIG THANK YOU to the National Art Gallery!

Interviews!

Just a quick reminder that Parent-Teacher interviews are this evening. If you were unable to book an interview for this evening, please contact me by either email or the agenda to make arrangements. Thanks, Ms. Harrington
