Ms. Vande Graaf

It is finally starting to feel like spring is here!!! I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who were able to connect for our Parent Teacher Interviews. It was great to talk to you and to take the opportunity to discuss your child’s learning and all the progress they have made over the last term. 

March was another busy month. We have been learning about weather. We have been looking at weather instruments and different types of extreme weather. We are going to integrate some ELA and write some weather poems. We will do some art to go with our weather poems as well using a variety of mediums. We will look forward to sharing them with you. 

In Social Studies we have been continuing our Super Speedy Social Studies. Right now we are talking about how Upper and Lower Canada became one entity with the Union Act. Our next step is to talk about Confederation and when all the provinces and territories we know now became a part of Canada. 

In Math we are beginning to learn about fractions and talking about how to compare fractions and how to convert them to decimals. We are also continuing to work on our multiplication and related division facts and how to multiply two, three and even four digit numbers.
