It’s hard to believe that we are already in the month of
March. Report cards will be sent home on
Thursday, March 5th and parent-teacher interviews are just around
the corner. Please remember to sign the
parent comment sheet and send it back to school with the report card
envelope.
In Language Arts this month we are focusing on adding detail
to our sentences to make them more interesting.
We are learning how to stretch our sentences out to include the 5 W’s:
who, what, when, where and why. We will
be doing a book study on Mo Williams Knuffle Bunny Series.
In Math, we will be focusing on different addition strategies. We will start learning two digit addition and
subtraction with regrouping after spring break.
We will also continue to work on becoming quicker and more efficient at
our mental math facts to 18.
In Science, we are continuing our unit on States of Matter. We have been doing many hands on activities
and experiments in this unit and the students are really enjoying learning in
this way. They had a blast making and
testing their boats to see how many marbles they could hold before they started
to sink. Many of our boats were still
floating after 100 marbles!!
In Social Studies, we are learning about communities in
Canada. We will be focusing on our
smallest province, Prince Edward Island.
We will look at the similarities and differences between Manitoba and
P.E.I.
In Religion, we are learning about Lent and preparing for
Easter. Lent is a time for remembering
all that Jesus did to save us. We get
ready for the celebration of Easter and the new life that Jesus brings us.
Please remember to check and sign your child’s agenda each
night. Also, please do not hesitate to
contact me at the school or through the agenda if you have any concerns
regarding your child.
Take care,
Mrs. Shade
