What a very different, kind of crazy week. 

School is back in Wednesday, Feb. 12.

Time math test and subtraction will be that day. 

We have started looking more closely at characters in fiction stories we read. We will continue with learning about character traits and making connections to those neat characters we encounter for an adventure in the story.

Wed. January 5

Friday will be a test on time and subtraction.  Students are to show they can read analogue clocks to the half hour, quarter after and quarter to. They also need to be able to draw those times, remember where the hour hand has to point. Students are also figuring out elapsed time. If school started at 9:15 and we have recess at 11:15, how long is it till recess.

Friday will be library day.

Next week it is Monday and Tuesday of no school due to rotating and province wide strikes.

When school resumes, there will be a social studies test. We have been reviewing: the names and locations of 7 continents and 5 oceans. Also, what are the 8 directions of a compass rose and how can they move around a map using those directions.Blue duotangs will be coming home to help to study.
