Hello!
Last week before the holiday break, and wow was it busy.
With Tuesday being a snow day, Wednesday going swimming, Thursday going to see Charlie Brown at Belmont, and Friday hosting a Santa pancake breakfast, this week was jam packed full of events!
In French and math we continued working on our numbers, playing some French BINGO. By the end of the week the students could tell which numbers were what from 1 to 75 in French. In the new year we will be working on division strategies.
In Language Arts we finished our book reviews, and will use them for a project in the new year.
In social studies we discussed the purpose of a timeline, and made on based off the school year so far. In the new year we will be creating a class Canadian timeline.
In science we worked on a simple machine review booklet. In the new year we will be reviewing simple machines, and working in groups on tube Goldberg complex machines.
Friday afternoon we watched Home Alone as a class, and I paused the video during certain scenes, and we discussed the behaviours being exhibited in the video. At the end of the movie we had a discussion about how parents are quite busy during the holidays, and it is always a nice when they have help, so hopefully some of the students picked up on that and will be more helpful over the break.
Thursday I sent home most of the class work we completed in the first term. I also sent home an informational packet on our science fair we will be competing in. Over the break read over the information and guidelines, and research some possible science fair activities your child may be interested. I will be collecting their signed forms when we return, and by Friday when we return I should have partners organised.
Have a good winter break, and see you all in the new year!
