SNOW!

It's back! That playable, frosty, white stuff! Our vote this morning, said that double the number of students were excited to see snow, than not!

We worked hard to spot, extend and communicate number patterns  in all sorts of situations, such as ordering toppings on sundaes, reading pages of books, and raising money! We finished off our unit by planning our Charity Fundraiser.

We have now started MULTIPLICATION! We will be multiplying 2 and 3-digit numbers, by 2-digit numbers. We have been practicing our basic 12 x 12  facts with strategies, tricks and memorization. Students are encouraged to practice at home with games, and online links (found on the math page) to help them build fluency for our bigger numbers and word problems.

In Language, we are focusing on Character Traits - what traits describe a character, and what proof tells us this. We are continuing to read The Wild Robot! We are also writing Biography paragraphs on a person of inspiration!

We are continuing to work on Communication - how we can be a great oral, visual and written communicator!

*I look forward to meeting with those who have signed up for Parent-Teacher Interviews this Thursday evening. If you would like to discuss your child's progress, but are unable to make this day/time, please send a note in the Agenda and we can set up a phone or meeting at a time that works better!
