We designed pink t-shirts with anti-bullying slogans and logos.  We just need to complete a few more t-shirts to complete our display.







Yesterday was a snow day.  We only had 6 students.  They seemed to enjoy themselves in all the snow!



The Great Canadian Postcard Exchange- This week we received a few postcards from across Canada.  



What did we learn this week:

Language:  We continued with persuasive writing, and also worked on a Pink Shirt Day reading comprehension. 

Math:  We worked on subtraction (with and without regrouping).  PLEASE PRACTICE THIS AT HOME.

This week I emailed a copy of the social studies assignment your child will be working on at school. The assignment is just meant for you to review concepts and to know how I will be marking them. Please do not work on them at home, as I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MARK ANY WORK COMPLETED AT HOME.  Thank you!

What did we do this week:

Language: We working on persuasive writing.  Students are writing introductions, providing 3 reasons (using facts, not opinions), and writing a conclusion.  They were writing about what season is the best; as well as what animal would or would not make a good pet. 






Math: We wrapped up our unit on 3D figures. This week we will start our unit on subtraction (with and without regrouping). Please practice this concept at home.



Social studies: We continued to discuss the 3 landforms in Ontario (Hudson Bay lowlands, Canadian Shield, and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands).  We started our social studies research projects.
