HAPPY EDUCATION WEEK!!!!

Read-a-Thon

We are continuing our two-week read-a-thon this week and it ends on Friday, May 6th. Please encourage your child to read each night. You only need to initial or sign each book or chapter and then your child will get a white sticky bubble to add to the fish they coloured last week. Our hope is that the bubbles will reach to the top of the majestic blue ocean we created on two of our hallway walls. The children are really excited to see their bubbles climb up the ocean wall! If we reach our class goal of 500 books, they get a movie and pyjama day. If we reach our goal along with our cousin class (Mrs. D'Ettorre) and together we read 700 books, then we both get a movie, pyjama, stuffy and ice cream block! (With Maybe a few surprises! )

In Language, we will focus on persuasive writing and write a persuasive letter to Mrs. Fulton's class trying to persuade them to do an activity with us. Activity is yet to be determined by our class.

In Science, we have been learning about structures and what makes them strong. We will talk about nature structures this week. We have also discussed different types of energy and the importance of conserving energy. We will create a Chatterpix about energy conservation and/or helping our environment this week.

Here are this week’s word wall words.

1. that

2. there

3. them

4. these

5. thing

 

In Math, we will be completing various word problems this week. They will be expected to show their thinking using pictures, numbers and words.
