Reading:
Students should be continuing to read nightly and discuss what they have read. In the coming weeks, we will be looking at a greater variety of non-fiction texts. When reading non-fiction books at home, ask your child to tell you what similarities and differences they can find between fiction and non-fiction texts.
Writing:
Students are continuing to develop their paragraphs. When writing paragraphs at home, have your child edit their work for the correct use of capitals and punctuation. They can also work on adding more detail to their sentences to make them more interesting.
Social Studies:
We continue to discuss Canada's Pioneers. We are making comparisons between the Pioneer homes (both the shanty and the later log cabin) and our homes today. Ask your child to discuss things around your home that are both similar to and different from the pioneer homes.
Science:
Ask your child to tell you about the changes their plants are undergoing. See if they can tell you about pollination and photosynthesis.
Math:
We will be wrapping up our units on graphing soon. We will be taking a more in depth look at time and money next. As these are important life skills, try to ask your child questions related to time and money whenever possible.
