Reminders for the week

Today we talked about different strategies to use when adding numbers in math.  Ask your child if they can name a few they use.
In Social this week we continued the conversation and writing about life in the past when the pioneers came over from Europe and settled in the Prairies.
We finished our unit on Magnets in Science and will be starting our new unit next week on Hot and Cold.
For health we listened to a story about being shy/embarrassed or other strong emotions and how to deal with the "beast" that can take over ourselves.  We wrote about a time when we felt a strong negative emotion such as anger or anxiety and drew what we thought our beasts would look like. Then we continued the conversation about how to deal with those powerful emotions and to get under control by breathing or doing some yoga type poses.     vid.ly/3r1t4q  You can watch the first part of the video here.
Please ensure your child has the proper winter gear (boots, hat, gloves/mitts and a warm jacket) for recess time.  Several students still have not been bringing their hat or mitts and it is too cold to outside for that long without protection from the cold.


Have a great long weekend.
