Winter Break is Almost Here - A glance at December


With Progress Reports completed, we would like to take this time to thank all the families for coming in for student led conferences.  The students worked very hard planning and reflecting on their goals and we are very pleased with their success. The Grade Ones and Twos continue to work hard in all subject areas and are now undertaking many new and interesting units.

In Language Arts, they are reading various books and learning to make text to self (grade 1) and text to text (grade 2) connections.  In addition we are continuing to work hard learning new words in our spelling program, along with  reading just right books.  With our recent launch of Raz Kids, we are pleased to see many of our students diligently logging in and participating in various reading and comprehension activities. 

In Science we will be learning about ENERGY IN OUR LIVES (in Grade 1), and the Three States of Matter - Solids, Liquids, and Gasses (Grade 2). 

In Mathematics, we are almost finished our unit on Measurement.  Students have been working hard learning about non-standard units of measurement (grade 1), and standard units of measurement (grade 2).  In this unit, we will also work on area and perimeter.  We will start looking at Symmetry, and solving word problems using addition and subtraction to 18 (grade 2) before winter break.
