Good Afternoon,

The last 2 weeks have gone by in a blur.  We have been busy in the classroom as usual.  The learning the students continue to do is fantastic.

We have not done a lot that is different in the past 2 weeks.  We still read and try to write everyday.  We are beginning to use computers to do some of our writing which includes opinion writing and even beginning to do some story writing.

Math has seen us continue on problem solving.  We have tackled mixed problems and multi-step problems.  The students are learning to read through them and pick out what is important and then apply the appropriate function to find the answer.

We are finishing up our Waste unit in Science, and our next unit will focus on Weather.  We are beginning to find out more about Alberta in Social Studies, then moving back into the history of Canada as time goes on.

We completed yoga and dance in Physical Education and next we will be doing some floor hockey and ringette.

I do not get to see your wonderful children now until the 4th of January.  Mr. Bennett has also sent an update out to families that gives details about what to expect. 

From January 4th - 8th, 2021 your children will be learning online.  There are times when they will be online with me, Ms. Hanan or Ms. Murphy, being instructed, receiving support and asking or answering questions.  These online times will be for attendance as well.  A schedule came home with your student today, but it is not perfect, so there may be changes.  In that case, a new schedule will be sent out to you by Sunday, January 3, 2021.  I will also be posting it on our Google Classroom.

Stay tuned to your email for any updates that are coming.  Thank you for your ongoing support, your children could not do what they do without you.

Have an amazing break and I can't wait to see everyone in January.

Mrs. Mahon
