LA – We started a new novel, Holes, and are working on answering questions using full sentences. For example:

Q: How many cots were in Stanley’s tent?

A: There were seven cots in Stanley’s tent.

Sometimes kids answer with: There were seven.

But I ask, seven what? Where were these seven things?

And less often kids will answer with: there were seven

They need to proofread/edit their work to correct missing capital letters and periods.

MATH – Fractions to decimals. Ask your child to convert: 3/10, 56/100, 2/100, 12/10

SCIENCE – Chapter nine on resources. We have looked at salmon, trees and next up is water and the water cycle.

SOCIALS – Chapter six on Indigenous government.

ART – Some beautiful pointillism art projects! A few of them will be displayed at the Art Show on Thursday next week. Please drop by between from 5 – 7 pm to view some really cool art work.

A reminder that we swim on Thursday. There is no cost for the swim. Please send a towel with your child. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather as we walk both ways.

Congratulations to our Student’s of the Month so far in 2024! January was Victoria for her determination in class. February was Bentley for his helpfulness. March was Cadence for using her time wisely. And for this month, Audrey was recognized for her mentorship in class.

Cheers!
