Hello NCS Families!

Today we:

  • played scooter hockey in gym
  • did our word work
  • played math games and practiced multiplication facts (our new unit is multiplication and division, so we are spending a bit of time practicing our basic facts) - we also each got a multiplication chart and made some flash cards for our toughest time tables
  • did our literacy centres and reading groups
  • did art (watercolours)
  • did makerspace
  • continued to learn about paragraph writing (we took a few notes about paragraphs and then had to practice organizing sentences into paragraphs - Ms. Clark had paragraphs and cut them up sentence by sentence and then we had to reorganize them into the proper order from start to finish)

Reminders:

  • Winter Walk tomorrow, February 1st 2023 - please ensure that you come dressed for the weather (tomorrow and everyday) - this means:  jacket, snow pants, mitts, hats, boots, etc. 
  • Report Cards are now available online

It has been such a joy to be your teacher this year. I am so excited for your next part of the journey in life! You will have such a good time in middle school and I can't wait to see all that you accomplish in life. I wish you all the best, I hope you have the best adventures.                                                                                                        Your teacher,                      ...
