I am looking forward to a full week with the students - it has been a while with snow days and long weekends! We recognized one birthday in the class over the long weekend.
We had a super visit with Tysen Lefebvre on Thursday.  He had a lot to say about his Mission to a Million including his wish and those he has granted to others. The students had some great questions for Tysen around goal setting and he had some super answers regarding breaking goals into manageable chunks and not getting discouraged. The students will be leading some fundraising initiatives to support Make-a-Wish in the next few weeks.
Homework will be coming home in paper form this week.  Please see the math and language updates below:
Math:  We will continue with area exploration.  The students need to be mindful of including units of measure in their work and noting which units are used in the question. Please have your child practice multiplication drills at home.
Language: Students have begun writing pourquoi stories in pairs. Some have had the chance to share with the class and others will do so this week before writing independently.
