Happy Halloween

We are very fortunate to be able to dress up tomorrow. Please remember to not put face paint on your children. Also, masks are not permitted. Due to allergies, food is not permitted in the school as treats for students. If you wish to hand out little gifts to the students, please ensure that they are not food items. Thanks for cooperation in this matter.

Practicing time

We have been learning to tell time in Math class. We have learned to tell time by the hour, the half-hour, and 15 minute intervals. It would be beneficial to practice telling time at home. Maybe you could write a digital time and have them represent it using a clock, or draw a clock and have them write it digitally.

Measurement

In Math, we have begun our unit on measurement. In this unit, we will be exploring time, money, and temperature. Today, we were discussing time, and we were exploring how long a minute actually is. We will be continuing this discussion tomorrow, and way in which to keep time without using a watch/clock.

Sorting and Patterns

We have begun our Sorting and Patterning unit in Math. The children have been learning ways to sort different objects. Some of the vocabulary we have learned is: attributes, sorting rules, and sorting circles. Maybe you can practice sorting at home. Pick random objects from around the house, and sort them into groups. Have your child(ren) tell you the sorting rule.

EDM

We are excited to be starting a new unit in social studies! Today we were talking about our Prime Minister and the Premier of Ontario. We have been discussing the different roles that these people have in our country.
