Happy New Year!
We're Going Skating!
January 14, February 19, and March 11. Parents are invited to join us. To meet safety standards, all skaters must wear a helmet. We are hoping for 100% participation. If your child would like to skate, but does not have equipment, please let me know. Also if you have skates or helmets that you would be willing to loan to a student in need, please notify me.

Curriculum
What are we studying this month?
Math: Our focus in Math this month is addition and subtraction of 2 and 3-digit numbers with regrouping. Regrouping in a challenging concept for many students and you may find that your child will need to do some practice at home to gain proficiency. Multiplication will also be an ongoing focus throughout the term, as it is a skill that needs to be practiced over time.
Social Studies: We will continue our study of Early Settlers in Upper Canada from 1780-1850 with an emphasis on the challenges they faced. The students expressed interest in learning more about the Underground Railroad, so we will spend some time learning about the African Americans that travelled to Canada to escape slavery.
Science: We will begin a study of forces causing motion, specifically gravity, muscular force, friction, magnetism and buoyancy.
