Well, anyone else getting tired of the cold? Looks like some nicer weather is coming!
This week, we will be working on the following:
- Language: We will have our usual Working with Words lesson on Monday. The rest of the week should include a lesson on commas, a new writing assignment called A Dog's Adventure (telling a short story about what happened to their dog during the day it escaped from their yard) and a possible EQAO practice reading.
- Math: We are still working a little on addition and subtraction with regrouping to 1000. The class as a whole could continue practising these kinds of questions at home through websites like Magma Math, Thatquiz.org and just pencil and paper practice. Once we complete this unit, we will be switching to lessons on measuring length.
- Visual Arts: Although we have already had our lessons on visual art, the class will be working on a Black History Month school project. We will be learning about an artist named Alma Thomas and try to mimic a style of her art.
- Religion: Last week we had a lesson about the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. This week we should get to a lesson around the Symbols of the Holy Spirit.
- Science: If time permits, we will have a final lesson on Forces about safety considerations
- Valentine's Day coming up!: Although Valentine's Day is Saturday, we will have a card exchange on Friday afternoon. I sent home a class list on Friday. A reminder that all students should receive a card if your child is participating, and there is a school-wide ban on children handing out food/candy to others. So, please stick to just cards and non-edible items.
