Welcome to this rainy Monday!  I hope everyone was able to enjoy the sunshine of the weekend.

Notes:

• A letter about an 1800s school day is coming home today.  This will take place next Tuesday the day after our trip to Fort Macleod.  This is a really fun way to learn about the past and I encourage all students to participate in dressing up - even just a little.
• I would like to remind students to have a water bottle they can bring into class for the hot days that are coming back after the rain (30 by Thursday!).  It disrupts learning to have to go to the water fountain.

Curriculum:

• Math: We will be studying area this week.  You can help at home by having your child cover an object with shapes (e.g. the cover of a book with sticky notes) to see what the area of it is.
• L.A.
• Writing: We will finish our book, "Fatty Legs" this week.  You can help at home by asking your child what the book was about, who the main character was, what the problem in the story was, what was learned by the main character, etc.
• Spelling: As mentioned last week we will be reviewing our lists through this month.
• Science: We will be having an open book test on plants tomorrow.  You can help at home by asking your child about the different parts of a plant and what each one does.
• Social: This week we will finish up our NWMP projects and continue learning about early settlement in Alberta.
