Hello families!
It's hard to believe it's June and the school year will soon be coming to an end! I've truly enjoyed working with your children this year and watching them learn and grow in so many ways!
The following outlines some of the work we are finishing up this month:
Language
Students have been reading and writing poetry over the last couple of weeks. We have some favourite class poems which students can recite by memory! Students have now been taught and written seven diffferent types of poems, and we are compiling them in good copy into a "Poetry Collection". Students are also being asked to pick two poems to present to the class, one of their own poems, and one of their favourites by another author. They may need to rehearse these at home.
Math
Our final two math units are Probability and Transformational Geometry. Students are conducting simple probability experiments in class using dice, spinners, drawing tiles etc. We are discussing how to represent probability as a fraction. In geometry, students will explore translations, reflections, and rotations. Of course, continued practice of times tables is encouraged!!!
Social Studies
Students are enjoying learning about life 200 or so years ago. For their final project, they are creating lapbooks in the form of a non-fiction report about the early settlers and aboriginals.
Please see the side panel for important dates and special events taking place at school this month! It is a busy one! Thank you for your continued support this year and I wish you all a wonderful, warm and relaxing summer!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hale
