Classroom News:


Social Responsibility: We are finishing up  Honesty until Spring Break. This week we will talk about being honest by telling the truth and accepting responsibility.


Math: This week we are focusing on the numbers 1 and 2. We are practising forming them correctly as well as learning about decomposing numbers. This week we visited the website Fun Online Math Games in the computer lab to support our learning.

Science: We are continuing to look at what makes something sink or float. This week some children have been exploring building boats to float in water. They have made a plan, sketched out their idea, built a lego boat, and tested it in water. How many rocks can it hold before sinking? How can they redesign their boat so it can hold more rocks?

Art: Today we talked about signs of Spring they've noticed using their senses. We talked about daffodils blooming, warmer temperature, rainy and windy days, and buds on trees. We will explore spring more through Art with different mediums and materials.

Gym: We have finished our dance unit and are finishing up before the break with a games week.
