Welcome Back

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to school.  It's been a busy and productive first week.  

We have been working on problem solving in math. It's much more involved that it was when I was a kid but the kids seem to do very well.  We are working on making connections to the math problems.  This means that the kids need to write about what the problem reminds them of, what other solutions would work, or how they could use this math in a similar problem in the future. 

We are continuing with our Traditions and Celebrations unit in English and Social Studies.  We have been looking at different New Year's Celebrations.  We will be discussing Chinese New Year, Diwali (a Hindu/Jain/Sikhs Celebration), The Midwinter Festival (an Iroquois Celebration), Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year Celebration), and Ukrainian New Year. 

In Health we are looking at healthy eating. The kids love this subject.

In Science we will be looking at air and water, including the water cycle.


As mentioned in the agendas, today is Early Dismissal.  Students will be leaving at 2:30 today. 

Book Orders are due Friday next week. 

Thanks everyone.  Stay warm.
