Mr. Macdonell

March has been a full and engaging month of learning in our classroom!

In ELA, students have been strengthening their writing by focusing on clear structure, including strong topic sentences, supporting details, and concluding sentences. We have also been working on editing and revising our work, where students are learning to take pride in improving their writing by checking for clarity and organization.

In Math, we have been developing our understanding of fractions, including how to represent and compare them. We are now beginning our work with decimals, making connections between fractions and decimals to deepen our number sense and build confidence with these concepts.

In Social Studies, we have been exploring what life was like during the fur trade era. Students have been learning about the daily lives, challenges, and interactions of different groups during this time. As we move further into the spring, we will begin learning about Confederation and how Canada came to be the country it is today.

In Science, we are wrapping up our unit on matter. Through hands-on activities and discussions, students have explored solids, liquids, and gases, as well as how and why matter can change from one state to another.

A friendly reminder to continue encouraging home reading, as even a small amount of daily reading can have a big impact on building fluency, comprehension, and confidence.

Wishing all of our students and families a safe, restful, and enjoyable Spring Break!
