March 2020

Dear Parent/Guardian(s):

I can’t believe we are heading into the month of March already!  It has been such a fantastic year so far! We are hoping that spring will arrive early in March!  However, with this season, the wet weather comes with it.  Please ensure your child comes prepared for wet weather.  You may want to send in extra socks, mitts and an extra set of clothes just in case of a weather incident.  

Also, the children seem to be growing and are more hungry throughout the day, please make sure your child has enough snacks to eat throughout the day. 

Please ensure you are checking our classroom website regularly, as it is updated often with important dates and information regarding our class and school community.  

Our Senior friends are preparing for Easter with various Lenten activities and will continue to work hard on journal writing, poetry, letter sounds, rhyming words, sight words,letter combinations, opposites, counting to 20 and more and less.  

The following is a list of learning goals for the following subjects this month:

Religion: Growing in Commitment, continue to discuss the beautiful sacrament of Baptism.  If you can, please send in a picture of your child’s Baptism for our class prayer table. We are also preparing for Easter as we celebrate Easter in mid April. 

Language: Poems/Songs of the Week, daily reading and writing, reading responses, group discussions, show and share, printing, word families.  We are also discussing the concept of main characters in a story and their feelings.  Students are encouraged to be writing 4 or 5 sentences 

Math: Complete our unit on 2D and 3D shapes and move into Number Patterns 

Science: Energy its source and uses 

 Social Studies: My Place in Canada, Mapping

Thank you for your continued support and enjoy the March Break with your family! 

Yours in Catholic Education,

Ms. Moore
