Happy Friday Families of Room 51!

The children were excited about our math centers this week, especially about creating math art with a given number.  Other centers included graphing with colours, counting-on games, building and recording block patterns with accompanying tally marks and word problems.  Ask your child about the center work they did.

We continued working on our owl friendship stories, mapping them out with pictures and words then moving on to writing them out.  This has been very challenging for all the students.

Writing in science concerned the building and testing of their houses.  The students completed the building of their structures and were ecstatic about testing them against the elements. Most of the students were able to share their learning with their parents about this inquiry project during student-led conferences.

Students reexamined their role and responsibility within their family during social studies, particularly the jobs each family member performs.  Please encourage your child to continue helping out around the house.

Please consider donating to our student-led Christmas charity this year of filling a sock.  It is greatly appreciated and a valuable teaching opportunity for your child.

Have a wonderful weekend & enjoy this wonderfully mild weather!
