January 29th, 2021

 Wow - January is now a wrap!  This week has been busy finishing our owl unit!  Reader's Workshop presentations of owl books are going well.  The highlight was dissecting owl pellets today - as you can see below the students were very engaged as they were 'scientists' and/or 'ornithologists'!





                                                         Look at all these bones!
                                                              Even skulls!

                                                We also did this cool art project!  


In math we have been focusing on place value (thousands/hundreds/tens and ones) as well as reviewing basic addition and subtraction facts.  As you can see in the poetry book we have done a Rounding Roller Coaster to help the students to round numbers. If you could review this and practice rounding some numbers that would be great.  

Dr. Saul is looking for gumboots.  If anyone has any larger sized rubber boots hanging about they you'd like to donate, please send them into the school. Students do not need to wear boots in their size, it's actually good to wear a size or two too large for this special  'Body Rhythm' work.  

Please check your child's planners daily on Monday they write their spelling words, on Wednesday and Thursday night they bring home their spelling duo-tang and the lesson should be completed each week.  Please return this daily, even if it isn't finished!  

Just a reminder that this year's Valentines is different!   

We received this from our the district Health and Safety Department:  Please ensure that you follow these guidelines this year due to Covid 19!  If you have already purchased valentines that have stickers, pens or candies please save them for next year or give them to family.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Valentine card exchange is permitted as long as the cards are basic paper cards (cards with pens, stickers or candies are NOT permitted at this time).

When you are making Valentines please ensure if you are doing this that you make one for everyone in the class so no one feels left out.  Thanks!  Div. 11 students are listed below!
