Weekly Learning Summary
Mathematics
During Math, students continued strengthening their understanding of addition strategies. They practiced break‑apart addition and used number lines to visualize their thinking and make efficient jumps when adding larger numbers. Students also completed both pre‑ and post‑assessments for our current math unit, giving us valuable insight into their growth and next steps
Literacy
In Literacy, students added text features to enhance their writing and began our at‑home reading program, building strong reading habits beyond the classroom. They explored how to identify the main idea in paragraphs, started practicing their new phonics words, and wrapped up our unit by engaging with a variety of topic books connected to our learning.
Unit of Inquiry (UOI): Sharing the Planet
In UOI, students spent time reflecting on their progress and setting personal learning goals for the next part of the year. We supported them in identifying what they want to improve and how they plan to achieve it.
We also launched the provocation for our new unit, Sharing the Planet. Students engaged in a See–Think–Wonder routine after observing a backpack that had been packed in only ten minutes. Their reflections sparked curiosity about needs, choices, and the impact of limited resources — a strong entry point into our upcoming inquiries
Outdoor Reminder
When we return from the break, we will be spending time outside for recess, please make sure your child comes to school with:
- 🧢 A hat
- 💧 A filled water bottle
This will help students stay comfortable, hydrated, and protected from the sun while outdoors.
