 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
