 Learning Intentions

I can name the seasons
I can see how the land changes when the sun gets warm
I can name animals that sleep all winter
I can explain what migration means and why animals do it
I can explain what hibernation is
I can tell how animals stay warm in the snow

This week in Science, students started their Earth Sciences unit… and Spring was “in the air”. So far in this unit we have learned about Spring and Summer Changes, Hibernation and Winter Survival, and Animal Migration. As we enter the planting season, students considered how the earth “wakes up” after the long winter season. Students were practicing both the months of the year and the four seasons in our math lessons. We also explored First Nations perspectives on the Spring Equinox and learned how they watched animals to know when the seasons changed. 

Learning Intentions

I can skip safely in my own space
I can skip using a step and hop pattern
I can skip at different speeds
I can show coordination and balance while skipping
I can stop and start skipping with control

This week in Gym, students practiced their skipping skills to prepare for our school-wide Heart and Stroke’s “Jump Rope for Heart”. Skipping is a cost-effective way to get cardio exercise, and we talked about how it is important to include cardio exercise in their lives to improve their overall health. Students learned easy healthy habits and helped raise funds to support lifesaving heart and brain research. Thanks to our TRS families who shared their time and resources for this worthwhile cause.

At Home Learning:
Literacy (Vocabulary):

Ask your child to practice naming the months and seasons. You can name a month and ask which month comes before and goes after that month.

Math:

Your child brought home basic facts to practice. Please have them complete the work to build faster recall.
