Students worked hard on their research projects in literacy and put effort into completing the math unit. The class had fun playing a few games to practice their spelling words and develop their sentence-writing skills. They enjoyed learning about the Chinese New Year on Friday afternoon. All in all, it was a fun and productive week!
House Keeping Items:
Please note that the Unit 3 math practice pages have been sent home. Also, kindly remind your child to bring a food/nutrition label to school next week for health class.
