Just a quick update to let you all know what we have been up to. During these past couple of weeks we have worked very hard and put our focus back on the academic subjects. The majority of students did very well on last week's math quiz on fractions and decimals! It is so great to hear that many of our boys and girls have commented that they like Math now and think it is fun. This makes me smile, considering that we spend the majority of the day, almost the entire morning on Math. I am so very proud that almost the entire class is now proficient in the recall of the multiplication basic facts. What a great success story!
In Social Studies we started our unit on the Inuit to explore some characteristics of the unique life style of these Aboriginal people of Canada. Our students created some amazing watercolour pictures for our Inuit Alphabet book. Here is a taste of it:

C as in CARIBOU |
L as in LEMMING
P as in POLAR BEAR
Wow, I do have a lot of creative talent in my class. These pictures are just stunning and you can see them with the poetry we wrote at our Open House Celebration this Thursday, starting at 11:30-12:30 pm. We will also showcase some of our learning in Math, Writing, Reading, Social Studies, Art, and share some of our favourite field trips and the unique routines and things we do every day in our classroom.
We hope to welcome many families to this exciting event on Thursday. Report cards will be going home just before spring break, on March 14th.
