May Newsletter

Dear Family,
Here are some curriculum updates and important information for the month of May.

Curriculum Updates
Language & Health
o We are working on our opinion / persuasive writing unit combining the writing activities with health curriculum expectations on avoiding bad habits.
o We are learning to ask “good question” for inquiry projects and while reading.
Math
o We are learning to estimate, measure and record length, perimeter, area, mass, capacity, time and temperature using standard units. We will also be learning to compare, describe and order objects, using attributes measured in standard units.
Science
o We are almost finishing our soil unit. We have been learning to identify and describe different types of soil and their characteristics. We have also been discussing the relationship between living things and the soil.

Important dates in May
19th Funky Hat & Diversity Day : Wear funky hats and traditional clothing.
22-26th Scholastics Book Fair / EQAO tests. Specific dates to be announced.

Reminder
We are still collecting BBQ related items to put a basket together for a silent auction during our Fun Fair this year. It is a great way to raise money for our school. Thank you for your support!
