Week of March 27

Curriculum Notes

In literacy, our word wall words for this week are:
     each
     up
     us
     long
     other

We are continuing to work on descriptive writing. We have talked about using colour words, number words, shapes, and sizes to describe what we see, as well as using our other senses to describe how things feel, sound, taste and smell.

Please have your child bring in a stuffed animal on Monday for a descriptive writing activity. 


In math, we have worked on linear measurement. This week, we will begin to learn about area.

In science, we will be doing an experiment to test which materials repel or absorb water. We will conclude this unit in a couple of weeks with a building task. If you can, please save paper towel or toilet paper rolls and small cardboard boxes (like a granola bar box) that we will use for our structures.

Other Notes

The school will be marking Earth Hour on Monday from 10 - 11 am.

With the (hopefully) warmer weather, comes a very wet school yard. Feel free to send in extra socks or a change of clothes for your child if you are concerned about your child sitting in wet clothes.
