Bonjour les familles!
We have some awesome field trips coming up this spring. On May 25th, we will be attending Alice in Wonderland Play at Bert Church High School (forms can be filled out and payment made via School Cash). Our first big field trip will be to the Telus Spark Science Centre where we will be doing a workshop on boats and buoyancy! We are looking for parent volunteers to come with us on this exciting outing on May 30th. Please let us know if you can join us for these trips!

Administrative Reminders:
ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL
We ask all parents to please time their child's arrival at school as close to 8:00 as possible. This is when the first bell rings for student entry. Prior to this time, there is no supervision.
Also, a reminder that there is no supervision of school playgrounds and playfields after school. Children that wish to stay after school to play on school grounds must be actively supervised by an adult.
Thanks for helping to keep our kids' play safe!

This week in:
Literacy:
The sound of the week is: au/eau
The words of the week are: bateau, gâteau, chapeau, chaud, autre
Sight words: We have also been reviewing sight words (common words/high frequency words) with students since the beginning of the year, as we approach the end of the year, students are expected to know at least 250 sight words. We have sent home some rings with words to practice at home. For some ideas on how to practice, please see this resource: Parents Guide to Sight Words
Here is the sight word list to practice with your child at home if you would like to print and cut more out:
Literacy Routine: Students have been organized into literacy small groups that will continue to receive targeted instruction on their individual literacy goals through targeted small group instruction, and specific literacy centers. Targeted skills include phonological awareness skills, phonemic awareness instruction, listening to French, speaking French, writing, and reading instruction.
Writer's Workshop: Students have been working on stories and we will be looking to publish them after the break!
Home Literacy: Please visit this page for details about our Home Reading Challenge.
Numeracy: Students will begin their study of measurement using non-standard units! Students will be asked to measure length with non-standard units (such as coins, erasers, footsteps, etc.) by tiling, iterating, or using a self- created measuring tool. They will then compare and order measurements of different lengths measured with the same non-standard units, and explain the choice of unit.
Social Studies: We are now building a virtual map of Iqaluit in Minecraft. Both classes are collaborating on this shared project. We look forward to sharing snapshots of our virtual map with you when it is complete!
Science: We will be conducting experiments to observe what occurs when water is mixed with other liquids, as well as exploring the unique surface tension water has, and the many things this makes possible!
