FEBRUARY NEWS

Dear Parents,

Another month is upon us already! Our groundhog friend, Wiarton Willie, will soon predict the duration of our winter. Please be sure that your child has extra socks and mitts to help them keep warm for the duration of the season.

This month we are working on:

Religion - The Beatitudes

Social Studies- Our Family Tree

Science - Growth and Changes in Animals

Language - Persuasive writing/speech

Math - measurement

Instead of just reading homework each night this month, the students will be working on tasks from different subject areas. For the week of Feb 4-8, there are reading activities to complete. During the week of Feb. 11-15 students will be working on their family tree. Our class trip to Scanlon Creek Conservation Area is on February 19. The following week, (Feb. 25-28) students will be memorizing the short persuasive speech they have written in class.

As Valentine’s Day approaches the children may want to prepare cards. The class list will be sent home this week for this purpose. We will hand out Valentines on February 14. Due to allergies, I would ask that no edible treats be sent in with Valentines.

Reports will be going home with students on February 22.

Thanks for your continued support.

Mrs. M. Cresswell
