Curriculum:
- Math: We are working on multiplication basic facts. We have been playing games and will do some paper/pencil work this week as well. We are going to finish off the week by starting division. You can help at home by practicing multiplication facts with your child. On the math page of the blog are the songs we have learned in class, and we have added some strategies or "tricks" to make multiplying a little easier and a lot more fun!
- L.A.
- Spelling: We are on Week 7
- Writing: No more secrecy! We hope you enjoyed your Christmas anthologies. We are starting a new project that combines storytelling and photography.
- Science: Our new simple machine this week is the gear system. Don't be surprised if your child has a sudden inclination for dominoes and Rube Goldberg machines!
- Social: We are now in the Boreal Forest Region this week and are learning about the vegetation (guess what - there are lots of trees!), animal life, and ecosystems.
- PE: We have the snowshoes on loan right now and so we will be going out to use them as much as possible. They work best with winter boots rather than runners or other types of shoes.
