New Words Of The Week

Math:

We have continued to explore place value and base ten blocks by building numbers and recognizing the value of each digit. We have started to explore 3D shapes and are learning how to describe them using the number of edges, vertices, and faces on each object.

Social Studies:

We have been learning a lot about Saskatchewan's farming communities and their way of life. As well we have started to talk about Nunavut and how we can help bring them Christmas Cheer this holiday season by sending donations. Please let me know if you can donate a large prepaid shipping box to help get our special gifts all the way to the north. 

Science:

We have been using our scientist brains to learning about liquids. Ask your child out our drop race and mixing solids with water. 

November

Hello Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed Halloween! Please remind your child to enjoy their sweet treats at lunch time. At snack time students are encouraged to eat healthy snacks.

 📕📗📘Home Reading!!📙📚📖

In Language Arts we have continued to finish up our Halloween stories and have started to learn about Story Jumper. Story Jumper is a website where students can create original books and add photos, writing and a voice over. If you would like to check it out please do not work on school pieces at home, but feel free to create new pieces.

Storyjumper.com
Students need to use their CBE google account email address. If your child isn't sure of their email, let me know and I can send that info home.

In Math we have started to work on Place Value. We have been working on pulling numbers apart a learning about Tens and Ones. Learning about place value will help us when we start to add and subtract greater (larger) numbers. 

Have a look at this great video to learn more: Place Value: Tens and Ones

Tomorrow is our IN CLASS Leighton Art Center field trip! Volunteers please arrive at 8:15 and sign in at the office. If you have not yet paid online please do so as soon as possible. 

Please Stay Tuned for a great initiative we will be starting to help families in Nunavut. We will be sending care packages in time for Christmas!
