Our Week:

In literacy we have been talking about story elements as we read The Wild Robot Escapes and other picture books. Ask your child about what the setting, characters and main problems of The Wild Robot Escapes are.

In math, both Ms. Disher’s Grade 2 group and Mrs. Pelton’s Grade 1 group have wrapped up fractions and will be moving onto measurement. The Social Studies/Coding project incorporates some measurement using non-standard units (Grade 1) and standard units (Grade 2) which we will be doing more of.

The students in both Glacier and Sunrise were very excited to look at the caterpillars with magnifying glasses this week. We drew in our new nature journals by looking closely and drawing what we see, not what we think we see. Many good questions and observations have come out of this. As we see the changes occurring, we have been learning about the butterfly life cycle through videos, online material and books. Ask your child what the webbing or silk that the caterpillars have made is for.

For the Social Studies/Coding project, the students will have a chance to present their work with their partner to the class. It’s interesting to find out why buildings are put in certain places and why the landmark they chose to create is important to their community.

Hope everyone can get outdoors this weekend!
