Week ending Nov 25

Bus Evacuation Safety

On Wednesday, our students took part in our annual school bus safety and evacuation training. Whether taking the bus to school, for a trip outside of school, or just as a pedestrian walking to school, this training gave us important tips to remember to keep us safe. Ask your child to tell you what the the acronym "DON'T" means.

UPCOMING...
In Math, we will continue our investigation into perimeter, and begin looking at area measured in various square units. Our weekly problem solving questions will continue on Google Classroom so please remind your child to complete and submit their responses. The quiz on linear measurement will be returned this week.

As we finish up our Science unit on Habitats and Community, we have begun our study into Social Studies called The Political and Physical Regions of Canada. Students have labelled a map of Canada and identified the provinces and territories and their capital cities. This week, they are asked to practise memorizing the names of Canada's provinces and territories and their capital cities. This will also be reinforced through our Word Work in Language.



REMINDERS...


Science Presentations will begin this Monday, Nov. 28th. Some students have chosen to present early, and shared their Science Inquiries on Thursday. So far, I am impressed with the maturity and confidence in the students presentation skills. It is evident they have been practising the expectations I have outlined in the rubric. I look forward to seeing the rest on Monday!

Family Math Night is coming this Wednesday, Nov. 30th between 6:00-7:30 pm. Join us for a night of learning and family fun through Math games.
