March 20-24

This week we wrapped up our multiplication and division unit. Overall I think that the entire class did very well; so thank you for practicing with your students. When we come back, we will be starting our geometry unit which syncs up quite nicely with building. As for English, we finished our persuasive writing and will be moving towards story writing. For the week back, we will be making Pysanky eggs as it's a part of our Ukraine unit. If anyone has any kastkis they are willing to lend us that would be great, but I will be attempting to make some over the break. Finally, I just want to say how proud of them I am for today as a student was saying not nice things towards us, but everyone just ignored it and carried on.
Reminders
1. Our first day back will be April 3rd Monday
2. If you want to come on our zoo field trip in June, please start thinking about getting your police check with the CBE
3. Please encourage your student to read every day
4. Have a great spring break and I cannot wait to hear about what they did!

 Math - This week, we continued with our multiplication unit. Students have been working on their 6, 7, and 8 facts as well as count bys. We have also made a large multiplication table with all the products as well as ways to demonstrate how they achieved the answer. I have sent some students home with homework today as they did not finish in class. It should take at most 10 minutes to finish. Writing - We started our persuasive writing unit. Students learned about the structure of persuasive writing (what? why? why? why? what again?), how to use persuasive words, as well as including 3 reasons or examples in each of their whys. The topic students wrote about was whether if I should get a classroom pet and what pet should I get? Reading- For reading, we have been working on visualization. Students drew pictures of how they imagined the illustrations to be in a story. Students also came up with creative titles to book we read in class. Social Studies - We started Tunisia!

Because on Friday this week it is Remembrance Day, we did a lot of work around it. English - We focused on poems; what does poetry look, sound, and feel like? As well as what does poetry make you feel? We did an acrostic poem as well as a limerick about Remembrance Day. Math - We did some decreasing patterns in a T-table as well as started our count by work. We have only worked on our count bys of 2, 3, 4, 5. I have been sending a bit of homework back, so please look out for a black folder if you have not yet seen it! Social Studies - We finished up India by writing a letter to send home to our friends and parents as if we really did travel to India. These will come home next week when they are finished copying their good copy. We also learned about quality of life; how to measure quality of life. Reminders 1. Please keep encouraging your students to read! Even if it is just 15-20 minutes a day. They can definitely handle it as we do 30 minutes of independent quiet reading each day! 2.
