This morning students looked again at homophones for "Eye Opener". They had to write several sentences using the correct word (sent, scent, or cent). We have also been studying how to change a verb to make a sentence depict something that happened in the past, something that is currently happening in the present or something that will happen in the future. We continue to focus on writing good paragraphs that have a topic sentence, necessary details and a concluding sentence that wraps up our idea. These paragraphs are related to the legacy projects we are doing. As part of our project we also worked together to create a blueprint/layout for our trifold presentation and questioned ourselves about what other information will be necessary to include. Some students worked with Mrs. Spence, our Facility Operator, as they collected data about how much water or electricity we use at school. In math we really focused on setting up our question correctly to ensure we were working within the correct place value when practicing long division. You can practice simple two or three digit by 1 digit questions at home and have your child show you how they learned to check to see if the quotient they found was accurate.
Lastly, in the gym we continue to practice our passing and stick handling skills for floor hockey. We must remember that this is not competitive but simply an opportunity to try a new sport, to be active and to learn some stick handling skills. Reminders: May 10 - School Council Meeting May 19 - PD Day (No School) May 22 - Victoria Day (No School)
