Happy Monday!
We started off the day today working in our spelling books and copying down the new weekly spelling words. This week is a review week. All the words have been studied and tested before. This is a way to make sure that the words are being remembered after the week is up. After spelling we began working on our IB unit of Inquiry. We read a book about Canada's Metis, and had a chance to discuss their art and culture. The children heard about their clothing, ceremonies, music, dance and storytelling, and we discussed how these are important elements of their culture. Ask your child tonight to tell you what they learned! We also read another chapter of The Tale of Despereaux together. During math today the children worked on length and height (grade one) and describing the attributes of various patterns (grade two). They also went to french and P.E classes.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, cursive pages 108 - 109, spelling workbook page 77 - 80 and math pages 130 - 131.
Important information: If you have not sent back ticket money and family information regarding the Gala to Irene, please do so as soon as possible. February 11th is quickly approaching and I want to make sure everyone is fully prepared to participate in the Gala!
I hope most children have now signed up for the Khan Academy online math program. This is a great way for all students to receive tailored extra math support, as well as practice their computer skills. If you haven't already, please see the website online at http://www.khanacademy.org/.
Best regards,
