With the change in weather conditions, please ensure that your child is appropriately dressed for the weather and any changes in weather.  Additionally, please send an extra change of clothes with your child to school to be kept in their backpack.  This should include a top, a bottom, change of socks and underwear.  Recess and lunch is a great opportunity for fun and play in the snow and slush, resulting in wet clothing. The office has a very limited supply of clothes.  Thank you for helping us keeping your child happy and dry.

 - This week in math, we continue learning to count numbers from 100 to 1000 in Spanish. We are also analyzing and continuing patterns 

- In Spanish we are learning "Sílabas Trabadas con las letras -l y -r" (sylables that have blends with the letters -l and -r)

- In English class, we read the story "Andrew's Loose Tooth" by Robert Munsch. Then, we analyzed its different parts, including several unsuccessful attepts to try to pull out Andrew's loose tooth, and how the last attempt successfully worked. This type of story is called "stuck story," We will read and analyze other stories like this one before students start writing their own.
