Dear
Parents,
Some
important reminders for the month of May:
Please check
the Calendar that was sent to you last week with the important events for
May. Over and above those events, we
have two important and exciting Field Trips coming up. The first is on the 31st of May at
Glenbow Museum for the whole day where there will be two Social Studies
workshops namely Our Community Our People and Discovery Adventure. For this I will require 3 parent volunteers. The second Field Trip is on the 7th of June
at Heritage Park where there will be a Scavenger Hunt highlighting Our
Community in the Past and the Present. I
will need Four Parent Volunteers for this.
We have 64 students and only one bus which allows a seating capacity of
72 students. It will be greatly
appreciated if a couple of Parent Volunteers could drive directly to Heritage
Park and meet us at the entrance. Thank
you so much.
For the
month of May and June we will be studying:
Science: We are winding up the Boats and Buoyancy Unit
with some additional experiments and general review. We will be starting our new Unit of Small
Flying and Crawling Animals.
Math: The children have a good understanding of the
Measurement Unit. I am quite impressed
with their estimations. We are still
continuing with some exciting activities in this Unit. We will be doing Statistics and Probability
and Telling Time. Problem Solving will
be ongoing.
French: Story writing with a beginning, middle and
end with interesting adjectives and expressions using the dictionary and
vocabulary learned in class.
Comprehension passages and grammar.
English: Spring Poems and English Story Writing. Stuart Little and Comprehension Questions.
Religion: Rosary The emphasis this month is Mary and we are
preparing for our Marian Liturgy. The
children every Tuesday morning have a religious presentation and they have the
opportunity to say the Hail Mary and Our Father several times.
Art: We have been integrating Art with Math and
using Measurement for symmetry. We will
also be doing beautiful art projects with insects.
Health: We will be looking at characteristics of
friendship and effective strategies to resolve conflicts.
We look forward to seeing you at our
first Marian Liturgy at 10 am on Friday the 10th of May.
