It is hard to believe that November is almost over and the holiday season is upon us! December is one of my favourite months as a teacher. Between Christmas Concert, Winter Play Day, and other festive activities around the school, it is always a fun time with the kiddos! Stay tuned as various details are confirmed and communication is sent home regarding specific details. Here are some learning updates, information items, and important upcoming dates for our class!
📚 Learning Updates
📘 Math - We are working on basic facts, problem solving, and patterns daily! As we go higher in our basic facts, we are increasing our practice time to ensure students are feeling confident and fluent. Their hard work now will be extremely helpful when we begin focusing more on 2 and 3 digit addition and subtraction.
📙 Language Arts - Please see below for a photo of our latest published writing display! Students chose their favourite body part and described why it is special, unique, and important. Ask your child what they wrote about for their "Best Part of Me" writing project.
📕 Social Studies - We have been focusing on Peru's national symbols, land forms, climate, and rain forest. Next week we will be exploring Peru's celebrations, fashion, food, music, dance, and transportation! Ask your kiddo to tell you some fun facts about Peru!
