Happy New Year Parents!
Hope everyone had a very restful holiday. Had a very wonderful Tuesday with your children. We started the day with Math. We are beginning our new unit on Shapes. We had fun finding shapes around the classroom and drawing pictures made only of shapes.
In our Journals students were engrossed in writing about their holiday. There was much to tell about presents, trips to Whistler and Disneyland, visiting with family and friends and just enjoying the time away from routine. As your children read their adventures to me listened to their breath for the natural breaks when reading and asked them to place periods where these 'breaks' were. We will be working more on this in the coming weeks as the students will read their journals to one another and look for natural breaks in one another's works.
We have begun a new unit in Health and Safety. We will be working on signs informing us and warning us in our homes and communities as well as the safety of our bodies.
The students did a great job listening during computers which can be a challenging time for them due to sheer excitement. In computers this term will be working in Word and all the functions that can help them utilize the program most effectively.
That is all for now.
Looking forward to next week and getting settled in with your little ones.
