Conference Fun & No School

We have been very busy preparing for "Student-Led Conferences." The children will present their portfolios to you. It is a time to celebrate learning with families. Also, there is NO SCHOOL on Friday November 30. I look forward to seeing you all!

Mathematics

We have spent a lot of time learning about place value, subtraction strategies and problem solving.  We will connect our learning to addition strategies and more problem solving.  The children will learn some new math games that can be played at home.  I continue to encourage simple card games to be played at home.  Also visiting math websites such as www.mathplayground.com or www.mathisfun.com would be wonderful. 

Science and Social Studies

We are finished our study of "Habitats and Communities' and our introduction to Canada.  Now we will be studying "The People of the North," and "Light."  It will be an exciting time to learn new conepts.

Habitat Project

The students of Apollo 6 have been busy building their 3D models of their habitats.  The children and I have created some criteria for the students to follow to ensure that they are successful.  The project is due by November 19.  The children have been given a lot fo class time to work on their project.
