January 28-February 1

Hi Everyone,

This week we look forward to having artist Brenda Mc Donald teach us some impressionist painting techniques! Students will be bringing home their own masterpieces to share with their family members.

In Math, students will write the test on Measurement on Tuesday and begin Chapter 6 on Wednesday.
Grade 2: The math focus in Chapter 6 is Place Value and understanding the value of numbers to 100.
Grade 3: The math focus in Chapter 6 is Adding and Subtracting with greater numbers.
I will be sending home a parent letter to provide you with some more information about the above math units. 

In Language, the students will learn how to respond to texts and evaluate them by expressing their personal thoughts and feelings. One text we will focus on is The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka.

In Science, we will continue to look at various structures and simple machines. 

Important Reminders
  • With the cold weather here to stay, all children should be dressed to go outside for recess.  Please remember to label all children's clothing, including hats, gloves and coats.  Children should bring boots to school with indoor shoes. 
  • Students are working on Spelling List 16 this week in their Spelling books. All pages are due on Thursday.
  • Please sign agendas every night.
  • This Friday February 1st is Crazy Hair Day. Students do not have to wear uniform and can come to school with a creative hair style. 
  • Pizza Day on Friday! Yummy

Thank you for reading the blog. Have a great week!
Ms. Bertone :)
