Hello families,

Here is what we got up to this week:

Butterfly Art! Coffee filters, Mr. Sketch markers, eye droppers with water, and a whole lot of creativity.

Students painted their pinch pots from the Leighton Art Centre field trip. These came home on Friday for parents day. We hope you enjoy their hard work!

In mathematics our focus was on fact fluency and standard algorithm (stacking). This strategy is always taught last as it is the most efficient and reinforces the deeper strategies students have learned earlier in the year.

When parents ask me what they can work on at home with their child in math, I always suggest fact fluency. It is quick, easy and supports your child's understanding as they move through their school years!

In Science/Literacy students continued to work on their B is for Butterfly non-fiction pamphlets.

During buddies students shared the non-fiction texts they have created/are working on in their class. It is pretty cool to see how these skills transfer from grade 1/2 up to grade 5/6!
