 Happy Wednesday! 

Event coming up this week. On Friday, it is hat day here at Vista Heights. Students are invited to wear their favourite hat! 

Also on Friday is room 2's spelling test. I hope you have been practicing. On this day students will also be showing me what they know with comparing numbers. 


Language Arts: Students have started to learn instructional writing MUST HAVES. We have focused in on transitional words and phrases that connect steps and ideas for an enjoyable read and flow. Keep and eye out for a big writing project coming your child's way. 

Mathematics: We have been practice comparing numbers to prep for our "Show what you know" on Friday. Ask your child to fill in the missing digit to make this sentence true...
