What we are doing this month:

Science:  We will continue with our Magnet Unit for another two weeks after which I will give the children a test.  I always discuss the test in detail with the kids so that they are comfortable and ready to write it. 

French:  We are doing reading comprehension and the children are learning how to answer in complete sentences. We will be completing our Halloween activities this week. 

English:  We have started our novel study of Charlotte's Web. The children are learning new vocabulary, making predictions and focussing on reflection questions. The kids are also working on a booklet adding interesting adjectives phrases.

Social Studies: We are continuing to learn about the language and culture of the three communities of Iqaluit, Saskatoon and Meteghan. 

Math:  We will start adding and subtracting with two digit numbers. Problem solving is ongoing. We are also working on the new curriculum called Mathologie. The kids are enjoying estimating and counting in different ways by skip counting by 2's, 5's and 10's. Once the Zorbit Math website is up and running on Google Classroom, I will keep you informed.

Art: The kids have learned Zentangle Patterns and they are busy drawing and colouring a Remembrance Day Poem, "In Flanders Fields." Some children have started the good copy of the Pumpkin Seed Autumn Project. Once they have finished painting it, I will send you pictures.

Health:  The kids will be working on Wellness Day activities that Mme Wozny has shared in the St. Luke Weekly. 

Please continue to read with your child everyday and practice basic facts in Math with addition and subtraction.
