What are we learning about in March?
French: We are continuing to work on reading comprehension skills as well as working on our writing skills and will be writing stories. Please continue to encourage your child with his/her home reading. 
Math: We are about to be finishing addition and subtraction with regrouping. We will then begin our new math unit on 3D objects and 2D shapes. Problem solving in math will be an ongoing activity. Two great websites to introduce 3D objects and 2D shapes include: http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/ShapeSorter/  https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-1/name-the-three-dimensional-shape 
Religion: We will learn about the seasons of Lent and Easter.
Science: We are beginning our unit on liquids. 
Social Studies: We will begin to learn about goods and natural resources in the three communities. Students can enhance their learning about the culture, traditions and natural resources of each community by going to: http://engagingstudents.blackgold.ca/index.php/division-i/soc-d1/social-studies-2/2-1-canada-s-dynamic-communities/
English: We will continue to learn about bats. We are also trying incorporate descriptive words in our stories. In addition to your home reading in French, we encourage your child to also read in English each evening. We would appreciate a parent volunteer who could assist the students in completing a project about bats next week. Please let me know by writing a note in your child’s agenda. 
Music: We will work on connecting rhythms with music and continue learning about high and low sounds as well as melodies. 
Art: We will work on art pieces for Easter.
