In Language Arts, students continue guided reading and small-group instruction using the Read to Me Program. We focus on sentence editing and the mechanics of writing, including capitalization, spacing, and punctuation. Students also read short passages, practice reading comprehension, and participate in spelling activities to support reading and writing development. 

In Math, students are learning skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s through songs, games, and hands-on activities. We are now working on place value from ones to hundreds using ten blocks (Dienes blocks). Students especially enjoyed an activity where they built and constructed their own houses using Dienes blocks, then calculated and shared the value of their houses, making learning both meaningful and fun.

 In Science, students are exploring winter animals and learning how they adapt and survive during the winter season. In Social Studies, we are studying Seven Sacred Teachings and discussing how students can apply them in their daily lives. We are also reviewing geography, including identifying Canada on the map, locating Manitoba, and finding Winnipeg on the map.
