Swimming and other updates!
Our class will be going to the Thornhill Aquatic & Fitness Center for swim lessons as part of the Alberta Physical Education curriculum!
The lessons will begin on April 16th and finish on the 19th. The students will come to school as usual and will be taking a chartered school bus, supervised by teachers, to the aquatic center where they will receive lessons from the pool staff. Please send your child with a swimsuit and a towel and an extra bag (a plastic shopping bag is fine) on these days!
A permission form will be coming home with your child today.
In class, students have been working on their own stories and learning about how to edit their work and complete a rough and a good copy. They have been using their writing checklists to ensure they are doing their best work. At upcoming conferences, your child will show you a piece of writing and explain how they use the checklist to edit their work.
For math, we are beginning our unit on measurement! Today we will be seeing how tall we are using blocks as a unit of measurement. Ask your child how many blocks tall they are! We will continue to incorporate number sense (adding and subtracting numbers to 18) and simple problem solving until the end of the year as well.
In science we are continuing with our building unit and will be incorporating our Social Studies theme of community and the math concepts of 2 and 3-D shapes and measurement in to one big project. Stay tuned!
Student-led conferences are being held on April 19th and 20th. You should have received an email detailing how to sign up. If you have any questions about this process, please contact the office.
Thanks and looking forward to some warm weather!
