Teacher Notes for the week
Ms Myers Class:  In math we will be focusing on identifying and sorting two-dimensional shapes. In language we will be
working on descriptive writing that is connected to our science inquiry about living things. The  “Wonderful Ones” are looking forward to their final music session with Little Horn Theatre. During these lessons we have learned to identify the elements of a song – a beginning, some repeating elements, and an ending. One of our favourite songs is “My Scarf has Four Corners” – ask your child to sing it to you!
Mr Cook’s Class:  This week’s word wall words are: out, about, come, some, call. We will do various activities with these words during our language blocks. The students are continuing with addition this week and we are hoping to learn more about subtraction. We have discussed information on materials,objects, and structures in science. The students are encouraged to talk about examples of the different types of materials they know of that are used to make certain objects. Try asking them at home and look for objects that have structures that are used for support (e.g., legs on a table). See what they can tell you! This week we will finish procedural writing and move on to learning about narratives. We are continuing to collect food items for our Lenten project (proceeds to the Shepherd’s of Good Hope). We collected many canned goods last week! Thank you for the support! This week you can send in canned goods again, and pasta as well. I hope you all had an amazing weekend! I know that we will have a blessed week!
 

Ms Manzoli’s class:  This week the grade 2/3 will be continuing with procedural writing in language. We will be looking at different recipes. Our words of the week will focus on word blends, example float, blow, skate. In math be have been exploring 2D shapes, this week be begin 3D shapes. Have your children find things around the house and try to name these shapes. On Wednesday we return to our swim to survive, the children are learning ways to enjoy water and be safe. Please remember to bring a swim suit and towel. On Thursday, weather dependant we will have our class winter play day. We will be snowshoeing and warm up with a movie and hot chocolate.

A reminder that we are collecting can foods for our Lenten project. 
Prayer chain

Prayer chain

Ms. Rupnik’s class: In the Primary Language Class, we will tear one intention off our Lenten prayer chain daily and pray for that intention.  We will also continue with our Lenten class flower project and look for small services and acts of love. I will select one student to write on a petal what he/she did to get closer to God each morning/afternoon (for example: I helped Mrs. Rupnik, I shared with my friend, I used kind words when I was angry, I prayed for someone special, etc.).  Please remember that completed February homework calendars are due back at school on Thursday, February 26, 2015.
