Week of February 17, 2015

Thank you to all the families for attending conferences.  It was great to talk to you and share your child's success story.    I hope you are all enjoying our long weekend.  I wanted to give a few updates from our classroom:

LITERACY
Our next WEB project and essay due date is fast approaching.  Your child should have the two books read, evidence gathered defending their common theme, and begin writing their rough draft.  I am encouraging all students to bring their rough draft in this week for me to proof read and look over.  On Friday, we will have an in-class work day.

MATH
We have started our study of the metric system.  This unit will include time, money, measurement, area and perimeter.  Feel free to have your child use the Front Row Ed website to practice these skills at home.

SCIENCE
We are starting a unit on nutrition.  I will be sending home a food log for your child to complete at home and then we will discuss and analyse the results in class.  Please be sure to help your child remember to log ALL food eaten during this period of time.

Our Valentine's Day celebration!
