Highlights:

Today we had an art filled morning!  Artist Michelle came back to visit us and we put our watercolour skills to the test.  Students from Mrs. Daniel’s class and Mrs. Leung-Chow’s class got to choose whether they wanted to paint a tulip or a daffodil.  Did you know that both are Spring flowers?  The art was based off of a book called, Tulip and Lupin and The Spotty Dotty Daffodil.  Both flowers turned out beautiful!

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.

Kidsa-z.com Reading – Besides reading the at-home white readers that are going home every day, you may also log on to “Raz-Kids”, using the kidsa-z.com website.  The login information is taped on your child’s purple folder.
