Hello families and friends,

Today we had a lot of new, exciting things to do.  In math, we worked on some challenging new group problems.  We worked in groups of 4, and had 4 clues that we needed to use together to find the answer to the problem.  Ask your child what they worked on, and if they were able to solve any of the problems!  Then in the afternoon, we began work on our magnet centres/experiments.  We will be working on these over the next few weeks, exploring how magnets work.  Ask your child what they learned today.

Our words of the week for this week are "can", "came", "for", and "this" for grade ones, and "don't", "won't", "you're", and "can't' for grade twos.  Write a sentence that uses as many of our words of the week as you can in the comments below.

A reminder to make sure that your child's winter gear is all labeled with their names.  This will help with finding missing things before they make their way to the lost and found.

Have a good evening!
