The students finished writing their letters to either Chester or David today.  Ask your child who Chester and David are.  We also worked on two dimensional shapes in Math.  The grade one students went on a shape hunt around the classroom looking for rectangles, squares, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons. You can do this at home as well.  The grade two students worked on word problems.  They had to come up with different combinations of two dimensional shapes based on the number of vertices.  Ask your child what their combination was.

The grade one students started a new Science unit on objects and materials.  Today, they "investigated" five different materials.  Ask your child what they did and what they learned.
