Setting Goals

It was wonderful meeting with students and parents at our 3-Way Conferences on Friday. The students have set goals and outlined plans in order to achieve them. I will continue to encourage student growth and greatly appreciate the continued support from parents and families.

Weekly Highlights:

Students~

  • completed and published their pet paragraphs on the computers.
  • learned that laughter can have a positive impact on the overall health of our brain. Students read 100 jokes and riddles to a classmate and wrote about what makes them laugh.
  • worked on estimating differences and using mental math to subtract. We will begin 3-digit and 4-digit subtraction this week.
  • finished their "What I Ate for Dinner" assignment about food chains in science. They also completed an independent vocabulary assignment on plant and animal adaptations.
  • completed their goal-setting forms in preparation for conferences.
  • went book shopping at the school library.
  • attended the House Teams Pep Rally! Our class is Team Mario Kart and our house colour is RED!
Coming Up:

Have a great week ahead!
