Ms. Scott provided a weekly newsletter updating parents on her class's activities from January 5-9. The students resumed daily journaling and working on adding details, punctuation, and capitalization to their writing. In math, the class learned subtraction strategies using "friendly numbers" that add to 10. For PE, they did gymnastics, circuits, and cross country skiing. On Thursdays, the class will go skating at the civic center until February 19th, and parent volunteers are welcome to help tie skates. The upcoming week's events include a program on autism understanding, cross country skiing, and a recognition assembly on Friday.

Forms that went home this week: -Skating permission form (grey) -Book order (Scholastic) We got right back into the swing of things and resumed our daily journaling. The students are working on adding more detail to their writing (e.g. adjectives), remembering to use capitals at the beginning of their sentences and using appropriate punctuation at the end of a sentence (e.g. period, question mark, exclamation mark). I love reading the stories they make up! We are back into our math program. I showed the class another way to try subtraction that relies on their knowledge of friendly numbers. Friendly numbers are two numbers that add up to 10. Try quizzing your child on their knowledge of the friendly numbers We have started a couple new P.E. units this week. Mondays and Tuesdays we will be in the gym doing various gymnastics skills and circuits. Wednesdays we will be doing cross country skiing out in our schools field. It was quite the process getting everyone fitted for our school set of boots, skis and poles, but we had a great time once we actually got out there! Next week we will start going to the Civic Centre for our skating unit. We will leave the school at 9:30 am each Thursday until February 5th then our final skate will be with the whole school on February 19 th. Parent Volunteers are always welcome if you have a current Criminal Record Check! Having many hands to help tie skates helps to get the kids on the ice quicker (and saves my hands from tying 23 pairs of skates!).
