Thursday, April 7th, 2016






Highlights:
Today Mrs. Daniel’s class got a chance to explore as engineers!  Along with our guest teacher, Ms. Hanson, the students learned about how to construct stable objects and what different materials structures could be made from.  Amid must laughter and cooperation, students built newspaper stools that were able to hold up Ms. Hanson!

Our personal shields are almost complete!  Today we used a fancy “font” and wrote out our name.  Some students decided to use bubble letters, others decorated their name using dots, while other students used colour to make their names stand out.


Homework:
Literacy M.A.P. – Word Study List #16  Don’t forget to study for our quiz tomorrow!
Monday: write, writing, run, running
Tuesday: get, getting, sit, sitting
Wednesday:  good, old, gold, eat
Thursday: Review quiz
Friday: Word Study Quiz!

Tell and Show: The week for open and orderly “O” is almost done.  So far there are been no obnoxious or obtuse clues!

Dream Box: Dreambox is an interactive math program that the students have been working on here at school.  We encourage the students to log in at home and practice developing their problem solving skills. Teachers are able to track their progress and see what areas they are excelling in or that may need improvement. Here is the link: https://play.dreambox.com/login/dq8q/panoramahs

Home Reading – Please have your child read around 20 minutes every night.  Don’t forget to ask questions and have conversations about the text.
