Our first week back at school was a busy one. Our class spent a lot of time diving into new learning opportunities as well as reviewing our classroom expectations and routines. They have not changed but some needed reminders of what a classroom community looks likes, sounds like and feels like.
We started the week exploring what the feast day of the Epiphany is and we wrote New Year's resolutions on our stars.
In Math, the class extended their thinking on what AREA is by doing various activities. Ask your child to explain these activities to you in more detail as a way of connecting to your child's learning.
We made some very thoughtful conclusions about AREA
Here is a MATH UP link to our big ideas for AREA.
In Language, the class did a recount of their favourite days of the Christmas Break and we did a question answer gallery walk. We also finished up our unit on PROCEDURAL WRITING. Starting next week we will unpack our learning goals for MEDIA LITERACY and QUESTION ANSWER RELATIONSHIPS.
We are busily preparing for the New Year's Mass that our class is responsible for. You are cordially invited to be a part of the Mass on Wednesday January 15th, 2020 at 1:30pm in the gym.
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER.........
- Please check your child's homework book weekly. There are assessments in the book from your child that need to be reviewed and signed by a parent.
- As always, the homework books are given out on Monday and are due back to school on Friday.
- The new pizza and Subway order will be sent out via School Messenger soon. The St. Rita school website is also another way to find up to date information on most things as well.
- Our Library time continues to be on Wednesday. It is important that library books are brought in before or on that date in order to take out more books.
Have a great week. I know we will.
