March 9-13

Odds and Ends

A couple things to talk about this week.  If you have not returned your permission forms for swimming, or the money, both are due on Friday, March 13th.  We start our swimming on Monday, March, 23rd.  Also, this Friday is a theme day.  It is dress like your favorite celebrity day.  Come dressed as your favorite athlete, singer, actor, etc.

Language Arts

Spelling:

Our spelling words this week are all contractions.  A contraction is two words combined together with an apostrophe to make one word.  The 10 words are as follows;

you'll   they're   it's   we're   isn't   let's   aren't   I'm   can't   we're   

Math

This week we are finishing up out unit on Measurement.  We have covered how to read calendars, days of the week, months of the year, length, mass, size, and volume.  Our unit test will be on Thursday.

Science

We will continue with our unit on exploring liquids.  We have looked at different kinds of liquids, properties of them (freezing, melting, thickness, flow), states of matter (Water can be solid, liquid, and gas), as well as dissolving a solid in a liquid and evaporation.  Over the next couple of weeks we will be exploring different materials and how they absorb water and materials that are waterproof.

Health

With the start of our Tutti Fruitti Tuesdays, where we are having a contest to see which class has the most students that bring in a fresh fruit or vegetable for snack, we will be exploring Canada's Food Guide and healthy eating habits.


I hope everyone has a great week ahead (Minus the 1 hour of lost sleep).
