The students have all been arriving each day with smiles on their faces and ready to take on what the day has in store for them. We continue to work hard with our Daily 5 routine in the mornings. We have almost completed our novel "Rule" during read to someone and are nearing the end of our first novel study "Wonder" - ask your son/daughter what kind of life lessons we have been learning from these two books. We have also started working on Persuasive Writing. Be sure to check out our google classroom to see all of your son/daughters different writing. A couple of different topics that we are working on this month are, Elf Applications (Hire me for the job), Nice List (Santa, this is why I am on the nice list this year) and Santa Quit (How can we convince him to come back to work) In math, we are finishing off our second unit called "Number Sense" - we worked on estimating, double digit on top multiplication, coins, and lots more work with numbers. We have focused a lot of our time on Multiplication and we are starting to see some great improvement with their quick math facts! Keep practicing kicking it math at home and don't forget to sign onto xtramath once in a while. We also started working with a new game called "Skoolbo" - ask your son/daughter to show you how it works at home! This works on Numeracy and Literacy skills through engaging games. In Social, we started to look at all of Alberta's Natural Resources. How do we use natural resources and what would happen if we didn't have access to these important resources. Come check out our interactive Alberta map in the hallway while you are at school. In Science, we have started working on our unit called "Wheels and Levers" - This unit will be very hands on while we explore the use of different simple machines. Thank you to all the parents that have brought in recycled items for our simple machine creations. We are also going to be building a "Paper roller coaster" this month. A few more fun things that we did this month! Retro Bill came last week Thank you to everyone that brought in a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child! We had a school assembly about "Street Safety"
