Hello Everyone,
A busy week filled with a tremendous amount of spirit. Sorry- no photos. I was having some technical difficulties and some unforeseen circumstances.
In Math, our new focus is on patterning. First, we uncovered what we already knew about patterning. The class was able to come up with many ATTRIBUTES that can change what a pattern looks like.

Our class will be looking more deeply into growing and shrinking patterns by looking at everyday problems that can be solved by following a number pattern.

In Language, we continue to look at QAR activities. Many texts that the students are practising with come straight from previous EQAO tests so your child will be comfortable with the testing format as well as confident at answering the questions to the best of his/her ability. In fact, the homework coming home this week may look different to you parents but I am sending home a Language EQAO package instead of the regular homework package. This will act as another opportunity for your child to practice plus give you a chance to see what it's all about. Last week's homework/spelling tests may not be corrected. I forgot to bring them home with me on Friday. 

In Science, the students are being exposed to forces that happen in nature. Ask your child what the word EROSION means and if it is a push or pull force.

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER.......

Monday is Family Day so the school is closed to all staff and students.

Tuesday is pizza day for those who ordered it.

Wednesday is "Wear a Pink Shirt to School Day" to support anti-bullying

Thanks for your patience with the rescheduling of some interviews last week. Much appreciated.
