Ms. Vande Graaf

Welcome back and Happy 2026!!! We hope you all had a safe, restful and enjoyable holiday break. Thank you to all of those who were able to come to our Winter Concert. We had a lot of fun making learning our song and practicing all our moves. It was a great concert and the students were proud to showcase their hard work. We had lots of fun in December making lots of different pieces of art. We hoped you loved the wooden snowman we brought home. 

We are going to hit the ground running in January with a lot of learning. We will be focusing on number operations in math, specifically multiplication and division. A great way to practice multiplication facts is to play a game a dice game or a card game. We are learning a few different ones in the class that your child can show you. In Social Studies we will start working our way through the history of Canada. We call it S.S.S.S. or Speedy Social Studies as there is so much to learn. In Language Art we will keep working on our paragraph writing and editing skills. We will also begin a poetry unit so stayed tuned to see some of our great poems.

Stay tuned to hear about what we will be learning about in Science. We are in discussions about a few different inquiry topics and will let you know when we make our final decision!!
