January 12, 2015

Hello families and friends,

We have been continuing to work on our literacy skills through Daily 5 in the mornings, working on reading, writing, and work on words.  In math, we have been working on looking at double-digit numbers, representing them in different ways and building an understanding of place value.  In gym we have been practicing our hockey skills; yesterday we worked on passing, and today we worked on stick handling.

Tying in with our look at resolutions last week, we have been starting some work on goal setting this week.  The students picked if they would work on a reading, writing, or math goal.  We broke into groups and talked about what makes a good goal and different strategies we can use to reach our goals.  Ask your child what their goal is.  This is something that we will continue to work on over the next few months, and we will look at revisiting our goals to check our progress and revise it if we need to.  We also revisited the work that we had begun before the winter break, looking at things that we can do to help the Syrian refugees.  Ask your child what their group is working on.

A reminder that Fun Lunch orders are available online for January and February.

Report cards go home this Friday.

Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
