I hope you and your family had a relaxing week off in March. Thankfully, better weather is slowly approaching! Here are a few updates for the month of April:
Housekeeping:
With the rainy season upon us, if your child does not have extra clothes already at school, please consider sending some extra pairs of socks and pants in case they get muddy and wet at recess.
A reminder to students to continue to read daily and complete their reading log. Daily homework completion and reading is essential to reinforcing concepts taught throughout the day and their work habit in this regard will be reflected in assessing their learning skills.
Curriculum Corner:
• Math
We will be continuing to work on our unit of Number Sense and Numeration where we will be learning to do multiplication and division, as well as exploring fractions. Our next math unit will be Measurement.
• Language
In Writing, we are continuing to work on our creative / descriptive writing using rich sentences. We are also working on our digital literacy by incorporating a variety of functions of Google Platform (Slides and Docs). In Reading we will be working on asking questions while we read to deepen our reading comprehension and learn to expand vocabulary using available resources.
• Health
In Health, we will continue to learn how to expand our healthy choice of food using different food guides. We will also start learning about good/bad habits and daily choices that affect our health and well-being.
