Thank you to everyone who stopped by for parent-teacher interviews. It was a pleasure meeting you!
In Math, students continue to grow their understanding of patterns. We began looking at multiplying and dividing by skip counting. Please see the Useful Links tab to listen to our awesome three times table song. You will also find various online games to practice multiplication facts.
Students have been exploring the elements of art, including line, shape, colour and space by creating their own artworks inspired by Keith Herring’s Action Figure Art. Keith Haring was an American artist whose pop art and graffiti-like work grew out of the New York City street culture of the 1980s. Haring's work grew to popularity from his spontaneous cartoon-like drawings in New York City subways.
We have begun discussions about mental health. We will be focusing our discussions around the film Inside Out. Students will be brainstorming various ways to regulate their emotions when they are feeling angry or sad.
Students have also started working on their iProjects (independent research projects). For this assignment, students are asked to put together a presentation about something they are most interested in. Some topics include: Basketball, acting, cooking, animals and cars. iProjects are a great way for us to learn a little bit more about our students!
