September 30

It's hard to believe it is already the end of summer.  It's been great getting to know the students over the few days we've had together.  With a few new students into the classroom, we are a very full room with 29 students.  However, we are learning to work with one another and help each other out.  I will do my best to update the blog regularly.  Additionally, I will be posting homework here daily and I am getting a calendar set up so that you are easily able to see what is coming up within our classroom.  This website is all very new to me, so I'm learning as quickly as possible how to link things together!

We are getting our Science unit started up as we are starting to learn about the Earth's composition.  Although some students did some studying on this topic last year, we will continue to develop their learning and ensure that they have the opportunity to deepen their understanding.

In Social Studies, we will kick things off learning about timelines - please talk to your child at home about what would be important points in their life to document.

For Math, we have been working on reviewing concepts learned in previous years.  It is beneficial for all students to continue working on basic facts including adding, subtracting, multiplication and division.  No need to do flashcards, instead play a game of crib, or multiplication war (each partner flips over a card the first to multiply them together and say the answer correctly wins the cards).

If you have any questions, or concerns, or you just want to touch base, please send me an email jstrom@sd73.bc.ca or call the school at 250 679 3269
