WEDNESDAY

Wow - winter is certainly not over, despite the lovely week we've had. As I look outside, the cars are completely covered in snow again! Hopefully it will warm enough for us to have our Winter Festival on Friday - we will decide tomorrow after school. Thanks to Mrs Frederick for volunteering to help our class.

We have had a wonderful couple weeks at school, and we have worked very hard to finish off our science unit, math unit and health units. Our new unit in math is fractions & decimals, and so far, students are ROCKING!  Hopefully the rest of the unit goes this smoothly. We are wrapping up our social unit on Decision Making in Saskatchewan. We have learned a bunch of new words like "constituency, Members of the Legislative Assembly, candidate and nominated."  We will be having a mock debate soon in our class.  In health we are wrapping up the unit on sight and hearing, and will begin talking about self esteem. This unit will tie in with our Christian Ethics theme of looking at how God created us uniquely.
Finally, we have been working at getting our drama done for art. This is part of English Language Arts unit about sending a message, and our message is about how God calls us to be loving and kind to others, not bullies. All parents are welcome to come to our drama production (which will be during our chapel time on March 9th).

Blessings to you and your family as you enjoy being together on Family Day on Monday, and the week off for the kids.

HOMEWORK:
Spelling & verse
Finish spelling sentences
Practise drama lines

WELCOME TO FEBRUARY!

What a start to the month with a snow day yesterday! I hope those of you who didn't make it had a wonderful day. We had half the class here, and we had a great time together.

We have started our new Social Studies unit on Decision Making in our Province, and it has been a very fun couple classes. We had some very persuasive debates today, and I look forward to seeing students expressing their opinions.

We have our big verses quiz (all six of the previous verses) and spelling test tomorrow (since there is no school on Friday). Tomorrow is also "Caps for Cambodia" - a fund raising venture from the grade 1 class to help a school in Cambodia. The "fine" for wearing your hat tomorrow is $1.  What a great cause!

HOMEWORK:
Study verses and spelling words
Practise flash cards
Finish Math if you didn't get it done.
