 Important Reminders

1. Winter Break starts December 20! I will see you all back on Monday, January 5. 

2. There are some practice sheets on Google Classroom if you wish to work on some Math or writing over the break! Your child should know how to access it. If you need your child's username and password again, feel free to email me.

 

Learning Updates

Literacy: We did our best December monthly writing this week using procedural writing. It was about how to draw a gingerbread house or person. We also practiced more high frequency words, and wrote wishes for our families. 

Math: Our focus this week has been all about solving addition and subtraction word problems. We have also been playing with money and practicing by earning money to buy gifts from Ms. Qi's gift shop! We will continue these important skills in January as well.

Social Studies: We learned about the different treaties in Alberta. We also learned about the Metis community.

Student Highlights

Aram said: On Friday, we got to wear our PJs and we got to watch a movie. Some kids got to go to other classes and if we were done our food, then we could play with the playdoh or the legos. I was in Ms. Qi's class.

Yui said: On Friday in the morning, we had Mustard Must Dos and we had to finish our work and then we could play Fun Friday. 

Aryan said: On Friday, we got a choice to watch a movie and got to wear our pajamas!

Ryker said: On Friday, we watched a movie. Our choices were Zootopia, the classic movies like Frosty the Snowman, Arthur Christmas and Frozen 2. And we get to have games in Ms. Qi's room if you didn't want to watch.

Yoon said: On Wednesday, in gym, we played Santa's Workshop and then we ride scooter thingys and we get to go to the workshop and stole toys. But there's no guard people, but we can get our toys and then bring to our team and then the team with the most toys wins.
