I can't believe it's already the month of May.  During the month of May, the students will be working on non-fiction writing pieces.  We have just started this unit by discussing some of the features in non-fiction writing.  Ask your child to tell you a few of them.  We will be looking at different text features for the rest of this week, which will then be followed by non-fiction writing.  As for math, the students are adding and subtracting money.  We will be doing this the for the rest of the week and then by next week, we should be learning about fractions.  The grade one students are working on Energy in science.  They have finished their "Saving Energy" posters and will begin to create an energy saving device.  The grade two students are still conducting experiments on both air and water in science class.
