At School:

Students wrapped up their swimming lessons! It was wonderful to see how much their skills improved over the past two weeks!

In Literacy: We started procedural writing by brainstorming topic ideas and getting started on our rough drafts.

In Math: We continued practicing how to simplify fractions and how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages. We also worked on solving real-life problems involving percentages.

In Art: We started creating 3D Doodle Bugs!

In Social Studies: We explored the history of early settlers in Alberta.

In Science: We began our unit on Plant and Animal Structures. Students learned what an organism is and worked together to classify various local organisms based on their appearance, habitat, and physical structures. We also planted beans! 



Looking Forward:

Look out for a letter in your child's backpack regarding our upcoming Settlers and Suitcases Project in June.

Students came home today with their materials from our Fractions, Decimals and Percentages unit. The end of unit assessment will be on Tuesday.

I would love to start by introducing myself. I’m Carolyn Wickenheiser and I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to be your child’s teacher for the rest of the school year. Our time together is off to a great start! We had a wonderful first week together as we settled back into consistency, routine and expectations here at MTS. As I am sure you may have heard, Mrs. Siarkiewicz’ beautiful baby boy, Arias, was born on December 29th, 2024. He is absolutely adorable and we are extremely happy for her as she welcomes her new bundle of joy!                                         At School: In Literacy: After reading Martin’s Big Words by Doreen Rappaport, we discussed our “Big Words” for 2025. Students were asked to write about one word that was important to them this year and then they created agamographs.       In Word Work: This week we focused on the prefix multi-. A...

Hi families,  We had Mr. Mike Hebenton, our acting principal, read a story to our class on World Read Aloud Day (Wednesday). The students were so respectful and welcoming that he wanted to come back in and read Jumanji to them on Thursday! At School: In Math:  This week we shifted from multiplying 3-digit by 1-digit numbers to dividing them! Students were taught the Area Model Strategy. It was a challenge for some students as there are quite a few steps to remember. Here are the steps and an example in case you would like to work on this strategy at home. Next week, we will start long division.                                               In Literacy:  We talked about our topic sentences in our paragraphs and how we could enhance them in our writing. We discussed 4 different kinds of topic sentences and students chose their own topic and practiced writi...

At School: In Literacy:  We wrote a paragraph about our favorite thing! Students were encouraged to use an If..Then, Even..though, Since or When topic sentence, 3 details to support their topic sentence, and a strong concluding sentence like we discussed.  In Math: Students were given a mid-point assessment on multiplication and division. They were given this assessment back on Wednesday to take home. There is still time to practice before our unit test in March. A huge thank you to families who are working on basic multiplication facts at home! While students have multiplication charts as tools in their desks from the fall, the expectation is to know multiplication facts automatically without using the multiplication chart. Please continue to work with your child on multiplication basic facts whenever possible and we will continue to work on them in school as well. This week, students were introduced to long division and that will be our focus for the next week or two. ...
