Welcome back and Happy New
Year! We are very excited to be back at school and ready for the 2015 school
year. We hope that everyone had a fabulous break! We are continuing on with
many of our units from before the Winter Break. We have a field trip on Tuesday,
January 13th for Science. We are going to the Military Museum to
learn about Boats and Buoyancy. Please remember to return your child’s
permission form! We still need parent volunteers so please, if you have CBE security
clearance, feel free to join us! Give us a call on Monday to arrange. Students need to dress appropriately for the
weather on Tuesday as well as bring a water bottle and a cold lunch. We will be
gone all day at the Museum! In Social, we were lucky enough to have a warm
break in the afternoon on Thursday and we were able to experiment with building
igloos and quiniseis. All looked amazing and we had a lot of fun! In Math and
Language Arts, we are continuing along with number sense and letter writing.
We have had many questions
about homework and the time is finally upon us! Students will be given nightly
homework starting Monday January 12th. Most of the homework will
consist of word work involving high frequency words. Students need to be
completing this nightly in order to increase their familiarity with common
words. Students also need to be continuing to read at home. Our monthly draw is
still ongoing; some of our students have read over 20 books already!
As well, even though it is
still a little over a month away, Student Led Conferences are coming up and we
cant wait to see all of you again! More information and bookings will be sent
home soon.
