Week Jan. 16 - Jan. 22

Saints

Who is your favourite saint? What is your experience with saints? This month, we will be studying saints. How is a Saint decided? Who are some of our saints? Students are encouraged to have a discussion with their parents about their favourite saints.

We will be learning about biographies as well. By the end of the unit, students will be asked to choose a saint to research. They will be asked to write a biography about their favourite saint.

Book Clubs.

Each Friday, students will gather in their book clubs to discuss this week's readings. They are expected to have their reading completed, as well as their job for the week. Remember to keep the book in your bag, so you can read at home and at school. If you haven't already done so, please bring in a mug (to leave for the month) for hot chocolate. Student's will be asked to complete their tasks in the library if they aren't ready for Friday.

There is a tab for Book Clubs above. There you will find the group's reading schedule and job chart.

Math

We will be wrapping up Data Management this week. Our next unit will be Multiplication and Division. Students are encouraged to build their fact fluency by logging into ReflexMath at least 3x a week. The goal is to get your "green dot" at least 3x.

Lettuce Sales

The tower is continuing to produce wonderful harvests of organic lettuce. If you are interested in purchasing a bag, please send in $5. All proceeds go to CHEO.


Have a wonderful week everyone.
