Hi! The kids must have definitely gotten plenty of rest over vacation because they all came back ready to work hard. They seemed to have all grown, too! We were able to pick right up where we left on and get lots done. Our student teacher did some lessons relating to Earth Day. They discussed the importance of the three Rs. We also did some Go2Science lessons on the relative abundance between carnivores and herbivores in Namibia. We will finish up these topics next week.
We have been reading and writing poems. We used similes in our writing to write about our Selfies. We used our place value knowledge to solve number grid puzzles in math. We will begin our last unit in our math books next week which is a review of the year.
We are earning gems! We earn them by working hard, being kind and acting responsibly. Ten gems can earn: lunch or snack with a friend on the picnic table outside, prize box, hat pass, stuffed animal pass or show and tell. The kids can also choose to keep the ten gems instead of cashing them in.
We talked about tick safety this week. Please encourage/help your child do tick checks at home. Information was sent home in an email.
Tuesday is May the 4th...May the Fourth Be With You :)! We will celebrate by doing lots of fun activities that are Star Wars and/or Space themed. If your child has a shirt, mask or toy relating to our theme, please have them wear/bring it on Tuesday. Do not go out and buy something. We have plenty of fun stuff going on that day. :)
Wednesday, May 12th is an early release day.
Reminder that primary students should be at school each day between 7:50 - 8:00 and picked up at 2:20. This will help with the traffic flow now that we are all back in school.
Happy Weekend!
