Hello everyone,

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.  The students have been working on procedural writing in Language.  We made a procedure today as a class about our morning routine.  Ask your child what the title of the procedure was.  The students have also been working on their own task: "how to heal a cut/wound".  Ask your child for the steps they have included in their procedure.  We are still working on patterning in math.  The grade one students are looking at repeating patterns and labeling them and the grade two students are working on growing patterns.  The students were introduced today to the website IXL.  Please have your child go on this website to practice their basic math skills.  This will lay a good foundation for what we are learning in class.  Start with patterns and graphs since we have completed these two units.  Each day the students should be reading a book.  It can be a snuggle up book from school, a book on Raz Kids or a book from home.  IXL should be a part of this daily routine.
