The students will be starting non-fiction writing this week.  We will begin by looking at different text features found in non-fiction books followed by writing non-fiction (research) writing pieces.  You can included non-fiction reading into your snuggle up time at home to help introduce the features of non-fiction.  In Math, we are working on Money.  We are identifying the different coins and how to count money in different ways, such as showing 25 cents in three different ways.  We will then slowly start making change.  You can help at home by counting by fives and tens. As for Science, the grade one students are looking at the use of electricity as an energy source. They are looking at how much we use electricity and how we can minimize the use. The grade two students continue to work on the unit: Air and Water.
