WOW!! We are at the last week of May already! Lots happening this week...some for us...some for the other students in the school. EQAO continues this week for the grade 3 students, therefore we will be experiencing some scheduling changes. We are all responsible and working together for the students see as much success as possible. Language Update: We are moving into reading and writing poetry this week. Students will try their hand at writing a variety of different types of poems. Students are encouraged to explore the poetry titles available through their Epic (getepic.com) account as well as to be reading nightly on RAZ Kids. Math Update: We continue to explore addition and subtraction strategies for two-digit problems. We have been using base 10 blocks to model our understanding and how regrouping to have enough ones in order to solve the question. In addition to our number sense, we are working through a variety of measurement activities that include non-standard and standard units of measurement. Other Reminders: 1. Stream of Dreams: a letter was sent home this week asking for $2 for each student to participate in the Stream of Dreams workshop. Stream of Dreams is committed to helping students and communities understand about their local watershed, water conservation and water pollution. Each student in the school will be participating in the workshop next month and be painting a personalize wooden fish to be attached to our school yard fence. 2. Library: Library visits will continue weekly until June 14th. Please ensure that you are returning your child's book each week. 3. Field Trips: A new field trip permission form was sent home this week for our downtown walking tour trip coming up on June 25th. A cost of $5 per student is required to cover the cost of the bus transportation. As always, we are in need of parent volunteers to accompany us. If you are available to come with us on the 25th it would be greatly appreciated. **NOTE: The $5.00 cost in addition to the student activity fee that was collected earlier in the year. 4. Outdoor Shoes: Now that we finally have nice weather out, just a reminder that students are required to have appropriate shoes for outside and a separate pair for indoor wear. We cannot be wearing outdoor shoes in the classroom or gym as it tracks in excessive sand and mud. Enjoy the last week of May! Stephanie :)
