3C Schedule. 3B Schedule. 3A Schedule
Our mathematicians had so much fun on a scavenger hunt! They measured different classroom objects by using measuring tape and rulers. The students were able to compare the different lengths of the objects. In the math forum, the students shared strategies on how to solve problems.
Our readers have been collecting information about the books they read, and they go through some questions to check their understanding. We have also been working on coming up with predictions about the stories they read.
We recommend students read at home and keep track of their stamina by using their Reading Log and practice at home the strategies taught in math with their homework.
We would also like to inform you of the swimming expectations and protocol to follow:
PE Swimming Class is not optional. Students must have a doctor’s note to be excused from swimming class. These notes should be handed to the swimming coach. If these notes arrive to you electronically please make sure they are shared with ansprimary@ans.edu.ni and homeroom teacher.
If students have a doctor’s note excusing them from PE or swimming and are in school they may bring a reading book or writing journal to the class.
