We have had lovely recess' outside in the fresh air!! Finally!

Our Learning this week so far...

• This week we have been writing about winter by exploring our senses in winter. So far we have been discussing and writing abut what you see, feel and hear.  We are working to make our writing more descriptive by adding juicy words. Together, we have been building on our first idea and making our writing more interesting by comparing these three sentences: "In the winter I feel snow." "In the winter I feel cold snow." "In the winter I feel cold snow that falls on my nose."
• In math, we looked at the strategies "subtracting zero", "subtracting one" and "subtracting 2". We noted that when we subtract zero the answer does not change and when we subtract one it is like counting backwards by one or thinking about the number that comes right before. Students practiced rolling a 12 or 20 sided dice and then printing corresponding -0, -1and -2 equations.
• We started to compile a list of words that express how we are unique. By reading the story "Cookies", we were able to list positive qualities such as responsible, respectful, helpful, proud, trustworthy, compassionate, generous, fair etc.
• We had music and learning commons this afternoon.

F.Y.I.

• We hope you saved the date for our "Celebration of Learning" on February 6th!
• Please return your child's report card envelope to school. The papers that were contained inside are your copies to keep at home.
• There is no school for students on Friday, January 31st as it is a PD Day.

Have a great evening!
