4 Weeks until Christmas!

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you all enjoyed that snow while it was here. :P

Here's some things we are learning in class: 

Math: We have finished subtraction and will be launching on unit on geometry this week
Language: We are learning about nouns: person, place, thing or idea. There can be common or proper nouns. We are also continuing to learn how to write good paragraphs. In reading we are continuing to learn about making predictions and summarizing the story. 
Gym: We have been practicing catching and throwing. 
Bible: We are working our way through the gospels learning all about Jesus' parables and "radical" teaching. 
Science: We are finishing up our structures unit within the next week or so. We have learned a lot about strong and stable structures. 

PLEASE NOTE: Your child should have read enough minutes to be in Wood Island, P.E.I., at this point in the R.A.C. program. If your child is not reading at least 60 minutes a week they are not getting the proper practice they need to build their oral reading skills. Please make sure you are reading and if you have fallen behind begin working on ways to catch up. Thank you. If not caught up within the next few weeks, or if there is no signs of improvement, a note will be sent home. 

Here is our schedule for this week: 

Monday: Read pages 144-148
Tuesday: Read pages 150-154
Wednesday: Bring in R.A.C. 
Thursday: Spelling Test List #11
Friday: Memory Work Test - Proverbs 23:26; Term 1 Report Cards
