Hello families, It was wonderful connecting with you at parent-teacher conferences! Here is what we did this week at school. We learned about cycles, specifically the days of the week and months of the year.

Hello families, This week we started our first writing workshop! Writing workshops require students to go through a series of steps in their writing to encourage feedback, drafting, and revising strategies. As we continue to explore identity and community in Social Studies, students wrote about their personality traits.  Ask your child what their "best part of me" trait is!  

Hello families, This week we took to the field to collect leaves of a variety of colors. Students then sorted, graphed, and answered comprehension questions about their data. We also made "leaf creatures" and will be doing some writing about them next week!

Hello families, On Monday we did a whole school sit spot to honor the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Sit spots are a quick and simple activity to encourage land-based learning. There were lots of ladybugs out for students to sketch!
