Tuning in to our new unit

What a fun-filled week we've had!
We wrapped up our last unit by presenting our projects, began looking into our new unit about forces and motion, went on our field trip to Higashi Clean Center and had two birthday celebrations (three, if you count Mrs. J's baby!)🎂

In Language, studied about homophones and homonyms. Ask your child if they can give you some examples of them.

In Math, we are continuing to study about arrays, skip counting and looking at fractions.

Here are the students sharing about their projects they made last week -
For our new unit about forces and motion, we took a walk around school to see where we can find out about gravity, friction, push and pull. Here we are in action -




On Thursday, we enjoyed our field trip to Higashi Clean Center. Can your child explain the steps in how garbage is incinerated and recyclable materials separated at the Center? Here are some photos of our trip - Higashi Clean Center photo album.

On Monday, February 11 the Grade 1 and 2 classes will have a flea market open to everyone from DESK. In order to prepare for this as part of our recycling unit, we would encourage the grade 1 students to bring in things from home which you no longer need but is clean and in usuable condtion. We can accept toys, books, clothes, household items, CDs, DVDs, games and such.
Your child can bring the things to sell from Feb. 4 -8. 
Any items which are not sold will be given to a donation organization, Shaplaneer.
The Grade 1 and 2 students will participate in helping sell things at the flea market during recess times and after school.
Parents can come shop at the flea market after school as well. 

Parents should've receive an email regarding new clubs starting this term. Sign up is done via an online link shared in the email. Please contact Mr. Brabant for more information.

Report cards will be sent home on Friday afternoon (today) via email with a pdf attachment of the report. This is a different format as done in the past.

Have an enjoyable weekend!
Ms. Ramani
