We continued working on our language unit on adjectives this
morning. We learned how to include adjectives to a sentence diagram. Ask your
child to explain how to do this. We discussed spelling rules for when an
adjective compares two items or 3 or more items. In our Who We Are inquiry unit
we continued asking the question "How can we keep safe?" We focused
on fire safety. We discussed the importance of knowing personal information
about our families. Students began the lesson by completing a personal information
questionnaire. Parents' homework tonight is to check the information your child
filled in and give your child a score out of 12 - one point for each line
correctly completed. Students are then to correct any mistakes they made or
fill in information they did not know and memorise it. Ask your child to
explain why we are doing this. We read a book called Safety with Fire
and watched 2 DVDs titled Home Fire Escape Plan and Fire in Your
House. Students took jot notes as we went. They received Mississauga
Fire and Emergency Services Activity Books. Students are required to complete page 7 & 18.
These pages are assigned as a family project. The goal is to get together as a
family and devise a Emergency Home Escape Plan. Colouring is not required.
Students are encouraged to read the
entire book and they may complete the activities if they wish. We had our twenty-second literature circle
groups meeting today. Students had class
time to read chapter 23. It is important that The Secret Garden books
and reading duo-tangs be brought to school daily as we will be having daily
group meetings as well as time allocated in class for reading.
Science Fair winners were announced today. Congratulations
to Rachel, Braeden, and Carter for being selected by the judges as our class'
winners. Well done to the whole class for their hard work in preparation for
the fair. Congratulations to Abel for being nominated as our class Communicator.
