Week of Oct 26-30

Happy Halloween week everyone.  First off I just want to say I hope you all have a safe and fun evening trick or treating this Saturday.  This week at East, we have our picture retakes taking place on Wednesday, Oct 28th.  If you have sent in your form, make sure your child is dressed to your liking.  We will do our best to make sure your concerns for pictures are taken care of.  Also our popcorn Wednesday is beginning.  If your child brings 50 cents they can have a bag of popcorn at snack time.

We will also be doing our Halloween parade through Salem Manor on Friday afternoon.  Send your child dressed in their Halloween costume so we can show it off.  We will be having our potluck lunch as well with a wonderful Halloween dessert treat.  I will be sending out the sign up sheet shortly to sign up for either Juice Boxes, Cheese and Crackers, and a fruit/veggie platter.  Please still send a protein with your child for lunch to eat as the potluck items are considered sides for them to eat with whatever they bring.

Math

This week in math we are starting our Numbers to 100 unit.   The outcomes we will be covering in this unit are as follows;

I Can:

  • Say the number sequence 0 to 100 by:
    • 2s, 5s and 10s, forward and backward, using starting points that are multiples of 2, 5 and 10 respectively
    • 10s, using starting points from 1 to 9 
    • 2s, starting from 1.
  • Demonstrate if a number (up to 100) is even or odd.
  • Describe order or relative position, using ordinal numbers (up to tenth).
  • Represent and describe numbers to 100, concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
  • Compare and order numbers up to 100.
  • Estimate quantities to 100.
  • Illustrate, concretely and pictorially, the meaning of place value for numerals to 100.
  • Demonstrate and explain the effect of adding zero to, or subtracting zero from, any number

Science

This week we will be finishing up our unit on magnetism and writing our unit test.


Social Studies

In social we are looking at the 3 different communities we will be studying.  So far we have introduced a prairie community (Saskatoon) and an Inuit community (Iqaluit).  The final community we will introduce is an Acadian community (Meteghan).  We have looked at the three areas of Canada that have the prairie provinces, the Inuit provinces/territories, as well as the Acadian provinces.  

I hope everyone has a great week ahead and a great Halloween Weekend.

Mr. Aasen
