We have gotten back into routines quickly and are much more settled than before Christmas (whew).
In L.A. we are carrying on with our novel study, working on writing and editing paragraphs, and are doing our spelling program (online...ask your child to show you).
In Math we are currently working on fractions and will move on to percent and ratios afterwards. For Science we are doing a grade 5 unit (Human Body) for a few weeks and then will move on to a grade 6 unit (Extreme Environments). In HACE we are looking at the complexity of relationships and how practice making sure that you look after yourself (eg. sleep, relaxation, nutrition, exercise etc).
Basketball season is beginning. There are coaches for a Tier 2 boys and girls team. Please let the office know if you would be willing to coach a Tier 3 team. For Tier 2 the boys games will take place on Tuesdays, the girls games will take place on Thursdays.
Just a heads up that Mrs. Erichuk and I are going to be booking gymnastics for February. Not sure of the final costs yet but it will be somewhere around $12 per child. Look for the notice going home next week. UPDATE: THERE WERE NO TIME SLOTS AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY SO PERMISSION SLIPS WILL NOT COME HOME UNTIL CLOSER TO THE DATE.......
Just another heads up that I have some minor surgery coming up on Jan 20th and will be off until at least the 30th.
