Thank you to those of you who are able to volunteer in our classroom for our Scientist's visit on May 28th in the morning. Please meet in our classroom (Room 3) that morning at 8:35am. We will go until 11:35am. Thank you!
Math- We have started our Probability unit and are learning about all the various words that we can use to discuss and understand Probability. We then placed the words on a continuum in order to understand when to use them.
E.g. impossible -- unlikely -- possible -- likely -- certain.
Students will be recording in their notebooks what we created on chart paper as a whole group. This week we will create spinners, and will begin to experiment with probability, along with recording our findings.
At home: Look for ways to show probability in everyday life. Ask your child to do the same and to show you their findings!
Language-
Reminder!
- Several students have misplaced their blue spelling journals, or are missing the activities page.
- Please check in with your child to ensure that they have their spelling journal, as well as the page with the weekly activities (which should be pasted in the front cover). If either is missing, it would be so helpful if you could made a note in your child's agenda and I will replace the missing item/s. Thank you kindly for your assistance.
Reading at home- In class we are working in our reading groups on punctuation. Specifically, we are working on reading punctuation, in other words, how the meaning changes (or is lost) if we miss or mix up a period, comma, exclamation mark or question mark.
* When reading at home with your child please listen as they read ALOUD. Please pay close attention to how your child reads punctuation, and ask them to stop and re-read the sentence to include the punctuation if it has been missed. Ask them if they notice how the meaning is changed or lost when the punctuation is missing!
Have fun working and being together!
