Hello Parents! Happy Wednesday!

We began our day today with math where we covered a very tricky topic! We discussed “counting on” which is a strategy that some people use to count change. You begin at the cost of the item and count on until you reach the amount that was given to you. For example:

Some of the students had a hard time grasping this concept and I spent one-on-one time on the carpet with manipulatives in order to give those students extra practice.

For language we continued to work on writing our good copies for our Egypt display! I am so excited to see the students being so inquisitive and curious. They are asking so many questions and being incredibly open-minded! I am so excited for parents to see all of their hard work! As a reminder international-mindedness day is this Friday! As a result kiss and ride is cancelled and parents are welcome to join us in the auditorium to see all of the displays at 2:45!

After lunch and recess and French we had time to work on our summative projects! The students are working on writing out their explanations for how their project demonstrates forces and motion! Some students are still working on building their projects and being wonderful problem solvers and thinkers throughout this process!

After second lunch and recess we finished the day with Music and Gym before Agendas and heading off to kiss and ride.

Important Reminders:

• ·         Math Page 126-127
• ·         Procedure must be completed at home for summative (some students are falling a little bit behind)
• ·         International-Mindedness Day (wear Egyptian colours, red, white, black, and gold or unitform. It is not casual day!) Parents are also welcome to bring in traditional Egyptian food items that are nut-free for international-day

Have a wonderful night!
