 Hoping everyone has had a restful and wonderful weekend! Room 2 has been very busy!

Math- we are learning about increasing and decreasing patterns. So far, we understand how patterns are in our daily life and are extending patterns by identifying pattern rules.

Language Arts- Our "All About Me" autobiographies and coming along and most of us are on the publishing stage! We cannot wait to share them with you. Room 2 also has been reading "Third Grade Angels" together and it is turning out to be an exciting book. Ask you child why the characters in the book are on a mission to be 'angels'. 

Social Studies- We started a unit last week on Alberta's Natural Regions. We have located where they each fall on the map of Alberta and today we learned about grasslands different landforms. 

Health- Having a growth mindset is important more than ever and together we have been working on positive affirmations to tell ourselves when times get tough. 


Reminder to families to fill out their demographic forms and send them in as soon as possible! Thank you

Thank you to those who have touched base with me for parent teacher conferences. Happy Spring Break! Wishing everyone a restful break and we will see your kiddos on Tuesday April 6th!  A quick reminder for our social studies project. We are asking for students to think of and bring in artifacts that are meaningful to them, that connects them with nature and the land. With these artifacts they will be telling their story and how they connect to the land. These artifacts ca be nature items, such as, sticks, rocks, grass etc. They can also be photographs or trinkets! Thank you for your participation with this project.  Here is what we have been learning this week in room 2. Language Arts : Students learned about limerick poems.

We will be having our spelling tests on Friday April 9th. Feel free to

Ask you child about what has happened in the book so far. For writing in the upcoming weeks we are beginning to learn the components of instructional writing (i.e. transitional words, lists, and where to place commas etc). Our new words of the week are out, and check your child back pack for their list for them to practice when at home. Students will be tested on their spelling NEXT Friday November 27th.  Mathematics - I have been super impressed with the grade 3/4s learning of comparing numbers.

They are solving this mystery by showing me their comparison of numbers knowledge through
