Hello Friends and Families,

Since we last touched base we have done a week of online learning and now a week of back to school, face to face learning.

This week we have learned about the Famous Five and really enjoyed it.

Most of us are happy to be back and we are learning more than we did when we were online.

In reading we have been learning about Front Desk, a book by Kelly Yang. We get to buddy read to read it and it helps us with words we may not know, and to understand what we are reading.

In math we have been learning about area and perimeter. We got to plan a flower garden and count the perimeter and area of each bed and total. 

When we were online we got to watch Ms. Mahon do science experiments in her kitchen. We tried to do walking water, but it didn't work. (Ms. Mahon says we will try again next week). We also watched what happens when you heat up air. We made a candle float. We found out what colours the black ink in markers is actually made of. We watched what happens when you add warm water to Skittles and started to make crystals.

We are learning new things in music. We had a quiz to remind us about what we know.

Have a great weekend,

Ms. Mahon and her Marvelous Monsters (all 11 of them today!)
