Ms. Mackenzie

I hope you have all been getting out and enjoying the lovely fall weather!

Throughout November we will be continuing reviewing the provinces, territories, regions and capital cities of Canada. In English Language Arts, we will continue to work on paragraph writing, poetry and editing. In math, we will be continuing to learn more about number and students will continue working with the DreamBox math program. In Science, we have been exploring sound.

Thank you to those families who are supporting their child’s learning by reading for 15-20 minutes each evening is a fantastic way for students for maintain and build upon their current reading skills. When you have a few minutes during a walk or on a drive, it is a great opportunity to practice counting forward and backward by 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, 10’s and 25’s. Knowing how to skip count is very useful for students in order to do multiplication and division and to count objects more efficiently.

I look forward to connecting with you during Parent/Teacher interviews on November 21^st and 22^nd. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to discuss your child’s strengths and next steps.
