I am currently using the \u2018Fundations\u2019 programme, if you would like to research it. In Grammar our focus is nouns, and you are welcome to talk about nouns in your home language. A noun is a person, place, or thing. The more we talk to the students about what they are doing in the classroom makes a huge impact on the students understanding. Please support them in their learning journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In math the students were introduced to the Number of the Day. The first activity students will complete in math class is the number of the day. They will break it into hundreds, tens and ones. They will draw a model of the number. They will mark if the number is odd or even. And they will write the word in written form. This activity will strengthen your child\u2019s understanding of place value. Students also used base ten blocks to show numbers up to 500. We ended the week with a fun addition activity. Next week we will begin focusing on patterns, place value, and data handling. Discuss these math topics with your child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Who We Are will be the first Transdisciplinary Theme the students will investigate. I have attached the UOI Flyer in the link below. I will also share the UOI Unit\u00a0 Flyer on SeeSaw. Please take some time to look at it. This unit&#8217;s presentation will be a Shoebox Autobiography. I will share the directions on SeeSaw Thursday, September 3rd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Homework<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> = Reading Journals have been given to each student.
