February 28



Today we had Pink Shirt Day. We participated in an assembly then designed pink shirts to show how we can help stop bullying by showing kindness instead.

In writing, we completed our final copy of our poem of choice and our February independent writing sample.  We then posted them to IRIS and created a personal writing goal. Please take some time to view your child's work and discuss their goal. 

We are now starting to learn more about Arctic/Inuit stories and legends and the different elements these stories contain.   We will be working towards writing our own arctic story. Here is one of the stories we watched.


In Inquiry, we researched 6 topics  (Weather, Land/Geography, Wildlife/Animals, Shelter, Iqaluit, Transportation) to learn some basic facts about the Arctic and life in the Arctic. 

In math we continued to explore double digit addition and subtraction. We learned how to use the cubes tool below to help us work through a word problem. Some students would benefit  from continued practice with double digit subtraction and checking that we are adding and subtracting basic facts to 20 accurately.
