Weekly Update & Daily Challenges

Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that the blog is a great way for not only you, but your parents to keep up to date on what is happening in our classroom. Your daily challenge for tonight is to show your parents the blog and have them leave a comment (doesn't have to be complicated) or a note in your agenda that they saw it. 

The week ahead:
Literacy - We will continue working on preparing for the 40 book challenge 
- Students will be writing the CASI assessment this week
- I am Poem - good copy due Friday 

Math- focus will be on place value and rounding whole numbers 
- Practice times tables for the name of the game (Round 3&4 this week)

Social Studies- Our first unit will be "Canada's connections to the World" - we will be focusing on trade as well as other ways we are connected to countries from around the world
- Hang onto those articles and souvenirs from other countries - we will be using them soon  


Art- Minecraft Selfies- due Friday

Have a wonderful week everyone! If you have any questions feel free to call or email kbreau@scdsb.on.ca 

Looking forward to the year ahead,
Mrs. Breau
