Hello Families,
This week I am excited to be attending a two-day conference in Laval on the work of a researcher from New Zealand - I hope to bring back many new ideas about how best to help your child learn!
This week we begin a new term - report cards will be coming home next week. Though there is no Parent Night in term two, I am available if you have questions or concerns about your child's progress, and I look forward to seeing you in March for Portfolio Night -it will be our first experience presenting Digital Portfolios and the students have been working hard.
This week, there will be lessons and practice in several subjects:
ELA: Your child should be reading from RAZ Kids or changing their home-reading regularly. As well, we have begun Literature Circles, and you child has (or shortly will have) a book to read from at home and the task of writing discussion questions and collecting interesting words in a shared Google document. Please make they bring the book back on days we're working together.
Math: we are continuing our study of fractions and doing more work with longer word problems. Your child will have work to do each night and is asked to practice their calculation using Reflex math.
Social Sciences: last week's test will come home to be signed. The new module will be short and include classwork on the Voices! audio and video your child is in the process of creating.
Science: we will begin a mini-unit on energy from plants shortly - as well as a unit on other energy sources. It should be interesting - ask your child to tell you about what we're learning!
Have a wonderful week!
