We have one final week of school before spring break!  Students have been working hard this week, despite being SO ready for a break!  Here is a snapshot of what we have been working on this week:

Math – continuing working on solving for the unknown.  We will finish up early next week.

Writing – we have started looking at a new type of writing called Comparative writing.

Science – we looked at various ways of separating mixtures and next week will look at ways to separate solutions.

French – we started learning about the calendar – and months of the year.

Reading –  We’ve started a new novel study. For the next few months, we are going to be reading Amal Unbound. Along with comprehension activities we are also discussing Pakistani culture, family, responsibility, and education.

Social Studies – Our immigration unit continued this week with a timeline activity. We are looking at the effect of various immigration policies throughout Canadian history that have impacted individuals and groups of people.

A few things coming up…

Class Photos

I am happy to announce that our very own Leah Riley (Three Leaf Photography, HRA photography teacher, Highroad mom and hero of the hour) is willing to do class photos for our school. We have set the date for Wednesday, March 31st which is our first Wednesday back after break. It is a regular uniform day, but students can choose from any of their uniform pieces. We are going to try and do the photos outside on the field, but if the weather is uncooperative, we will use an inside location following all covid safe regulations. The class photos will be made available to you at a later date.

Storybook Character Dress Up – this is happening on Wednesday, March 10th.

Class Party – students have won a class party this Friday.  Please feel free to send along some pre-packaged snacks to share.

Upcoming Dates:

Mar. 10 – Storybook Character Day

Mar. 12 – Knights Day/Last Day Before Spring Break

Mar. 29 – Classes resume
