Book Fair Next Week

The St. Philip's Book fair runs from Wed. April 27 - Fri. April 29th. Our class visit is scheduled for Block 1 Wed. April 27th. Families are more than welcomed to visit Thursday evening from 4 - 7pm and Friday morning from 9:20 - 12:05. Students will also have a second opportunity to visit Friday morning if they have brought in extra money.

Flyers will be sent home Wednesday. If you have a particular book you want your child to purchase, please make that clear on the wish list and we will do our best to track it down. Please make sure you return the ballot so your child is entered into a draw for 25$ worth of free books!

Please ensure that any money being sent in is in a LABELLED baggy. If money gets dropped on the floor, it is very hard to figure out who it belongs to!

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Language

In reading, we will be focusing on determining important ideas by retelling ideas in a fiction texts. We continue to use our GO Map to recall the important details we need.

In writing, we are transferring our understanding of fiction texts by becoming author's of our own narrative stories. Students are brainstorming with the help of the GO Map and are writing stories with a clear beginning, middle and end.

Students did an outstanding job with their oral presentations. They used the different techniques practised in class to share their book report.

Math

We have started working on Probability. We are learning about the chances of everyday things happening using our math words (certain, likely, unlikely, impossible and always, sometimes, never). We are also making predictions and completing probability experiments to determine the likelihood of different results (ex. spinner games, rolling dice, flipping cups).

How you can help at home:

- practise counting by 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s to 100

- locate different numbers on the 100s chart

- talk about the likelihood of events

- look for and name 3D solids around you
