What glorious weather we had for a wonderful long weekend!  I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend with their favourite activities.
We had a lot of fun with our track and field day on Friday and saw some very speedy runners! We also watched a video of Helen Keller and her teacher.  We have been reading this novel in class as it ties in well with our investigation of grit and perseverance.
Please ensure your child has a reuseable water bottle at school for these hot days, along with a hat and sunscreen to reapply as necessary. Also, note that there is no hot dog day this Friday.
Please see the math and language update below:
Math:  We will be finishing up our exploration of algebra and moving into exploring symmetry. Please continue to work on multiplication and division facts with your child as it helps immensely with recognizing connections between numbers and fact families, such as with algebra.
Language:  We are proofreading and editing our grit narratives.  We should be well into our good copies and illustrations by the end of the week.
