It has been a productive week and we are gearing up to finish a number of units.  Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been working on:

Math:  This week we are finishing up our unit on 3D shapes.

Language Arts & Science:  We have finished our non-fiction reading unit and are finishing our persuasive writing unit this week.  Students are completing their final writing piece on their favourite superhero and have combined their learning about non-fiction text features & Respiratory systems to create a brochure.  The final touches will be put on their projects this week and we will then begin a new LA unit.

French:  We completed our French unit on ‘states of being’ and greetings last week and will begin our next unit on Numbers & Colours this week.

Bible:  Students are working on an independent topical study where they have chosen a theme (when I am sad, lonely, joyful, have sinned etc.) and are looking for verse related to their topic as well as responding to those verses.  We will continue working on that this week.

Art:  We are learning about value and are working on a Valentine’s Art shading project.

Things coming up…

Math Mayhem:  We are excited that Math Mayhem is back!  This is an evening where high school students put together fun Math games and your families get to come and enjoy a fun-filled evening!  Here are the details:  February 22nd for k-9 students.  It takes place from 6:30 – 8:00.  Students in Grades 6 and under must be accompanied by a parent.

Valentine’s Day:  There are a couple of things on Tuesday – Pay to wear casual ($2 minimum) & hot lunch for those who ordered through munch-a-lunch.  Students can hand out cards in the morning if they decide to fill them out.  Please send your child with a bag on Tuesday as they will likely have lots of cards and treats to bring home.
