WOW, here we find ourselves at the end of February already!! This week we are going to be treated to some fantastic weather as well as an anticipated return of winter.
We are continuing our conversations around animals through an integrated approach to Science into Language Arts. Below are some key words we have discussed: - hibernate - camouflage - coverings (i.e.: feathers, scales, skin, fur, shell) - migrate - gather - classifications - adapt - burrow Ask your child about these key words and what we have been discovering about the variety of animals this week. In Math, we have moved from common 2 and 3D shapes to starting to classify them as prisms or pyramids. Ask your child the characteristics of a prism vs pyramid! Our spelling and geometry quizzes have been moved from Friday to Monday (March 2) due to job action on Friday. I had posted a link to the spelling words last week, but here is it is again. We have only worked with words in weeks 1-16. These words are from the pre-primer, primer and grade 1 list of common sight words. For the geometry quiz, students will be expected to name/identify common 2 & 3-D shapes, the number of sides or faces, vertices, and edges. These shapes include: circle, square, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon, trapezoid, rhombus, oval, cube, rectangular prism, triangular prism, pyramids, sphere, cylinder, and cone. A reminder that there is no school on Friday due to job action taking place. Have a good week! Stephanie :)

The word list can be found at the bottom of the resources page at http://stephanieranger.weebly.com/resources.html. It is only weeks 1-16. The information for the geometry quiz is in the main email I sent yesterday. Stephanie :)
