News & Updates

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful vacation!

Here's what's happening at school:

Morning Meeting: We've begun to have a vocabulary word of the day which will be incorporated into our daily greeting. We're using a great book that puts the words in an engaging context.

Writing: The children have finished researching a chosen topic and have begun crafting a report. Once first drafts are done, revised and edited, the children will create presentations. Many wanted to skip right to the presentation, but the hard work must be done first.



Math: We continue to work on fractions in Unit 5 of our math books. I hope the Home Links are giving you a good idea of what has been happening in class. This is our second unit on fractions and it's great to see the progress in the students' understanding.

Reading: Counting on Grace is our current read aloud. Ask your child about Grace's struggles. We also have three book clubs going and you can see which book your child is reading on the log. The teamwork I am seeing is fantastic! There is also time for independent reading and these books should be going to and from school every day.

Science: The salmon eggs have hatched in alevins! Out next focus is on how environmental factors affect organisms. Students will be testing the PH of different types of water in our next lab.

We also welcome a new student, Moses. Our class has been welcoming and kind which is a joy to see!

If you have any questions or concerns, please be in touch. Enjoy the weekend!
