Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Spring break! April will be a busy month full of learning.
In Language
Arts, we will continue with our spelling, phonics and home reading
programs. We will be doing a lot of
writing in April and really focusing on stretching our sentences out and adding
more detail to make them sound more interesting.
In Math, we
started learning and practising subtraction before the break. We will be continuing with subtraction as
well as starting a short unit on tens partners.
In Science,
we are continuing our unit on Solids, Liquids and Gases. We will be doing some hands on activities and
experiments in this unit and the students are really looking forward to
learning in this way.
In Social
Studies, we are beginning our unit on Communities in Canada. We will start by learning about our smallest province, Prince
Edward Island.
In Religion,
we will continue to work through our We Believe program. We will start looking at the different
sacraments, specifically focusing on the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First
Communion.
We are also busy
preparing for our Art Learning Fair. It
will be held on the evening of April 16th. The Scholastic Book Fair will be back this
month from April 27th – May 1st.
As the
weather continues to get warmer, our playground will become very wet. It is a good idea to come prepared with the
proper outdoor clothing and to send an extra set of clothes, socks, and mitts
to school each day.
Thank you,
Mrs. Shade
