Dear Parents and Students,<\/span><\/p>\n

A short week but a busy one. As you enjoy some family time today (Thursday), we are hard at work collaborating to design and create professional Learning communities and looking forward to next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Homework<\/b><\/p>\n

Because this week was a short week and students did not attend school today, we will complete our homework at the same time as beginning our new set for the following week, on Sunday (the beginning of Week 7).<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading and writing<\/b><\/p>\n

During this week learners have continued to work on developing their reading and writing skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students continued to work in reading groups where they practiced reading aloud, continued to develop their ability to read with fluency and expression as well as building their skills of reading to build understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an extension this week readers also inquired into mini extension projects related to their reading.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please see below some examples of their work this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mathematics<\/b><\/p>\n

This week in Math, students continued to work on developing their basic facts as well as extending their ability to work with multiplication of double digits by double digits as well as triple digits by double digits. For example 27 x 34 = ?\u00a0 or 144 x 29 = ?<\/span><\/p>\n

Our resident math-magicians were also introduced to the beginnings of substitution strategies for algebraic equations for example 4 x a = 20. Therefore a=? Or\u00a0 if b = 3 then 6b = ?<\/span><\/p>\n

Working with algebraic equations is something we will develop in more depth as the year progresses. Remember to talk with your children about how they are doing in math. They have a lot to share and explaining one’s mathematical reasoning and problem solving strategies really helps to consolidate learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Integrated UOI – Who We Are<\/b><\/p>\n

This week students worked hard to complete their unit of inquiry on Who We Are.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was an inquiry into:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
