This week, we continued to focus on words ending in double "l" such as full, pull, spill, and shell during Shared Reading and sentence writing.

In Math, we continued to learn about symmetry. The students were challenged to complete the symmetrical half of a different monster drawing this week. Once completed and coloured, they answered questions in writing about their monster's name, favourite colour, a special talent(superpower), etc. These colourful monsters now hang on the bulletin board outside our room.

We completed the first two pages of our Spring Booklet where the students drew clothing that is worn in Spring as well as activities people participate in during this season.

In Social Studies we began to learn about mapping. We drew and labeled a compass rose and learned about map keys (legends). The students created their own maps using common symbols for landmarks such as shools, hospitals, railroad tracks, police, and parks.

Today, we enjoyed our time with Hal Eaglesmith. He shared stories, teachings, and songs from his Indigenous culture. Many of the students expressed how much they liked listening to the drumming and the songs sung in his language. He is a very engaging speaker and we look forward to working with him more in the future. Please ask your child to share something they learned from him today.

A friendly reminder that there is no school tomorrow for Good Friday nor on Monday due to our Professional Development day.

I hope you all enjoy a wonderful Easter weekend. See you on Tuesday!
