The students have started a new unit in math, working on number sense. This unit involves adding and subtracting numbers. In health we are studying dental health since February is when dental health is celebrated. In literacy we continue to study our five words of the week. In addition certain students have been given their own ball sight word rings to practice at home during the week. Please make sure the sight word rings are returned to school each Friday so that I may test the students on their rings. Also please return their home reading books on Monday so that the students can exchange their books. You may have noticed your child's reading books are at a different level in response to recent PM Benchmark independent reading levels that have changed. In writing the students are working on an assignment about what they love. In reading we will be studying the differences between non-fiction and fiction texts by looking at penguins. With the kindergarten addition finished we once again have the use of the gym. The students were excited to get in the gym on Friday. We will now be able to add different equipment to our gym lessons. The students will be learning commands using games and activities with hula-hoops for the next couple of weeks. In science the students have started a new unit called 'Materials, Structures and Objects'. Thank you to all the families that have donated recyclable materials for this unit. The students will eventually be using the materials to build their own structures. In social studies the students have started a section in our 'Local Community' study on mapping. We have been learning about the parts of a map and the students will be using their new knowledge to study maps of the neighbourhood, school and making a map of their bedroom. In social skill class with Mrs. Wilson the students have been working on emotions and feelings in the Fun Friends Program. In Family Life the students have started Unit 3 Created Sexual: Male and Female. Please refer to the letter sent home last week that details the topics we will be covering. In religion we are studying about the old testament topics of creation and stories of famous figures such as Noah's Ark and Abraham. If you have any questions please feel free to write me a note in the student's agenda or just call me at school after 3:00 p.m.
