Happy Friday,

Another week has passed and we have had 4 fabulous days of learning this week.  I hope that you are all enjoying the little bit of extra time you get to spend together.

We have finished up our graphing unit in math, and will be moving on to probability.  When they come home next week, don't forget to ask them about their learning.

In writing, we have continued to learn about gorillas and have begun learning about different rules when writing.  We have started with learning about the apostrophe.  Ask them when we use an apostrophe, and see what they remember.  We will continue with this throughout the year. Next week we will be writing about Orange Shirt Day.  It is on September 30.

In social studies we will be learning all about Terry Fox and what he did. We have also learned about the map of Canada, what is on our borders and the 10 provinces and 3 territories.  When we move forward we will learn all about Canada's and Alberta's history.

Wetlands is the focus in science. We are learning about the types of wetlands and will be learning about the animals that live in wetlands and their adaptations to live and survive. We also had a wonderful time have Inside Education join our classroom through Google Meet on Monday to share information on wetlands.

Scholastic book orders went home this week. Things look different as orders are now done online for all parents.  If you go to scholastic.ca, click on the link on the left hand side that is labeled "Parents New to Learning Club", it will guide you through making an account. Books you order for your child will now be shipped directly to your house.

Have a fabulous weekend, and I can't wait to see my wonderful students on Monday.

Mrs. Mahon
