Important Information/Reminders:

-Coulee School starts next week.  Mrs. Pelton and I have sent a schoolmessenger with important and updated information

-June 27th last day of school

-check the School Connect weekly messages for further information/updates

Our Week:

-ask your child about Roots of Empathy (Grade 1 only)

-ask your child what is happening in The Wild Robot Protects, book 3 of the series

-today the Grade 3/4 team had their assembly (was fantastic!), ask your child about it

-Glacier Group/Ms. Disher's group has really been into dominoes and building, if any of you have dominoes you are willing to part with/donate, we would love to have more.  Sunrise Group is also starting to get into this.

-Math: Mrs. Pelton's group is finishing up measurement and Ms. Disher's Grade 2 group has moved onto geometry-learning about 2D shapes and 3D objects.  Most Grade 2's know a lot already, so we have moved onto some challenge tasks so they can apply what they know already about geometry.  For example, build a structure with 3D objects that has 5 flat faces, 10 flat faces, 30 edges or 50 vertices.

-Ask your child what they are doing for Inquiry/Social Studies: both groups have chosen to look at several parks and natural spaces in 3 identified Canadian Communities to learn more about animals, landforms, human interactions to see how they are all connected.  We will be comparing and contrasting this with the Coulee as a natural feature of the earth's surface-a landform!

Have a fabulous weekend!
