Week of March 3-7

March already! So hard to believe that Spring is around the corner (especially when it is -50 in the prairies...). This week we will finish our unit on Arctic Animals. We are learning about the arctic fox, the arctic hare, the various whales that live in the far north (beluga, right, orca, blue), the arctic and gray wolf, the pika, arctic char, arctic cod and many more. We made read and write books, did arctic animal art, put letters in order (upper and lower case), and the SKs made a drawing and wrote about if they were an arctic animal, what would they be... The children also wrote a booklet called "Snow is..." and we watched a short National Geographic Kids video on Arctic animals. The SKs also did and arctic word crossword puzzle.

After this week we will start several Spring-related units including a unit on Measurement.

We also honoured the TDSB Character Trait of Fairness at this week's Sharing Assembly.

Many thanks to our Mystery Readers and white bags helpers this week.

I hope you have a wonderful week!
