Mr. Macdonell

October has been an exciting and productive month in our classroom! In math, we successfully moved beyond place value and dove into multi-digit addition and subtraction, tackling numbers up to six digits. Looking ahead, we’ll be reviewing multiplication and division, as well as exploring number patterns.

In Social Studies, we have deepened our understanding of our country, Canada. Students have embarked on a “Trip Across Canada” project, where they are discovering the unique and fascinating places that make our nation special. In Science, we have explored various habitats and delved into food chains within ecosystems.

In ELA, we are nearing the conclusion of our classroom study of the novel Holes. Alongside this, we are continuously enhancing our writing skills, focusing on structure and creativity. Additionally, we are thrilled to have started our reading buddies program with another classroom.

Please ensure that your child is reading at home, and keeping their reading log up to date. Reading at home is one of the most important things your child can do to help them develop academic and intellectual skills and is a basis for success in their future.
