Science
We have almost finished our Building Unit and will be starting a plant/animal unit very soon led by our PBL planning. The children get to immerse themselves in bird habitats, physical adaptations, food, survival behaviours and so much more! They will choose a bird to research and present findings to the class
Lowe’s Fieldtrip!
Our bird and building units tie nicely together with this fieldtrip to build birdhouses (and other fun creations) on Monday April 25th. Thanks to everyone who has responded already! We have enough drivers for the trip!
Language Arts
We are launching a big Project Based Learning (PBL)Activity based around the question “What Makes a Bird a Bird?” We’ll be looking at phonics skills like r blends, ou/ow, y as a vowel and continuing with editing skills and research writing all through the theme of their favourite bird. We continue to work on reading strategies and are zipping along with Daily Five! A HUGE thank you to my reading group parent helpers for your many weeks of service! You made a world of difference for our little readers!
Social
We will be starting a quick little unit on caring for our environment that ties in nicely with Earth Day! After that we dive into a big unit called Moving Forward With the Past!

We continue with Geometry for a little bit longer and squeeze in Numbers to 100. This unit includes place value, fact families, grouping numbers to 100 by 2, 5, and 10 , comparing, representing and , describing numbers to 100. The new mental math strategy is Making 10. We discover all the combinations of numbers that add to make 10!
