Just a reminder for all that Monday is a PD Day for the students, so we will see everyone back on Tuesday!

Also, Field Trip forms are due back by next week, on Wednesday, January 13th!

In Language Arts today we reviewed our paragraph format and created a paragraph as a class on  "How to dress for winter".  We also worked in our guided reading groups, and practiced reading for fluency - reading without stopping.

For Math, we played a card game where we practiced identifying our place values, and saying the whole number.  The students had a lot of fun with this!
Have your child teach you this card game at home, and play it with them. 

During Science, we reviewed our animal classifications, and started to learn about different habitats and how those affect the different animals, and their adaptations for their environments.  We looked at deserts and arctic habitats!
Ask your child to tell you about the two habitats we learned about today, and what makes them special.

Today in art we practiced our place values from math!  Students were asked to pick a number using 4 place values, and then to colour code each place value.  They then drew lines using pastels (vertical, horizontal, right diagonal, and left diagonal) to represent the 4 different place values in their 4-digit number.

Can you see the number 8976?

Can you see the number 8279?

Can you see the number 8335?

Have a safe and wonderful weekend, and see everyone back on Tuesday!
