Monday - May 6, 2019

Our Learning Quest this week!

We started our week with new learning challenges! 
This is our roadmap for this week:


Ask your child what they were able to complete today!
If you your child was away, please find the details about our weekly tasks here (Note: we haven't started all tasks in this link, yet).


Calvin's Thought of the Week:
“If plan ‘A’ doesn’t work, just remember: the alphabet has 25 more letters.”

Writing Challenge | Writing our own books
Based on our brainstorming ideas from last week, today we started our first draft if our stories.

Guest Speaker | Farmer Steve
Today we received a visit from farmer Steve. He talked about the life cycle of different farm animals, the importance of the honeybees for our environment and answered questions about his daily work on his farm.

We want our students to get excited about reading. As they participate and are encouraged to choose their own books, they become more motivated and interested in reading. Students have access to Scholastic catalogues to order books and learning games. If you are interested, ask your child if they have a book catalogue. Please send your orders by May 16th.

You can also order online at http://www.scholastic.ca/parents/
