Dear Parents,

I apologize for connecting with you last Friday as I was sick. There has been a lot of learning taking place in our classroom. We have just completed a unit on working towards the "common good" by exploring various character traits.We read two texts, Bird Child and Thank you, Mr. Falker to deepen our meaning of Conflict, Conflict Resolution and Change. Here are some pictures of our work.

As our culminating activity, the students represented their understanding in form of posters, drama, song and rap. Please ask your children about their learning.

In math we've working on 2D geometry. The students have learned and compared various 2D shapes. We've also been working on line of symmetry. After March Break, we will focus on finiding area, 2-and 3-digit addition and subtraction, multiplication and division.

Here are some links on 2D Geometry.
