Thank you again for the lovely Valentine’s cards and chocolates. I had a successful knee surgery and am getting around pretty well with the help of physio and following my exercise plan. They have told me I should be fully recovered by 6 weeks.  

Reading

We are back working on our Leveled Reading groups. Some groups read twice a week and others read once per week. Our next step will be doing a week long book club with a presentation to the class as a group when they finish the book. As a class we are listening to the novel Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick.

Writing

We will continue with weekly spelling tests, word work and word wall words. Our writing for this month will be through our novel study and Social Studies project.

Math

Double and triple digit addition and subtraction with and without regrouping will be our outcomes for this month. Some students are still having difficulty with single digit addition and subtraction and should be encouraged to practice at home. I have sent home practice sheets but if you would like another or did not receive one just let me know and I will send you one. It has websites and activities for practice.

Science

Near the end of the Month we will be starting our unit on Testing Materials and Building Structures. Building a “strong” bridge will be our ultimate goal!

Social Studies

With a flexible mindset and the help of Mr. Williamson we are continuing to work on our “Google Slides” (Not Explain Everything – as I had planned) project on Peru. Each child’s work is in their Google Drive. This will be due in a few weeks.
