Happy Sunday! Here are some quick updates for our class.
📓 Learning Updates:
📘 Math - We are exploring strategies for basic multiplication facts up to 5 x 5. We are using math skills that we already have, such as skip counting and repeated addition, to solve multiplication problems. We are also using visual strategies, such as equal groups and arrays to represent basic multiplication facts. We have also learned about the commutative property of multiplication, which means it doesn't matter what order you multiply the factors, the product (answer) will be the same.
Example:
5 x 4 = 20
4 x 5 = 20
📒 Language Arts - We are continuing to focus on daily balanced literacy, which includes reading, word sort spelling tasks, cursive handwriting practice, narrative story writing skills, creative writing, and ongoing self-editing skills reinforcement. We are currently working on the published copy of our class story.
📗 Science - We have started our exciting study of animals! We have become junior zoologists as we explore the classifications and life cycles of animals. We will be focusing mainly on vertebrates (animals with backbones) as we study the habitats, diets, behaviours, adaptations, and other interesting characteristics of each group.

Please ask your child if they are interested in auditioning and assist in any preparations as needed. I have also attached the Talent Show information note to this email as well for your reference.
