At School:

This week, we refocused our attention on classroom routines and expectations. Students reviewed and practiced telling time on an analog clock and took part in a variety of fun Halloween-themed activities. We listened to a Halloween story and made text connections by comparing and contrasting ourselves with the main character. Students also completed a directed drawing in their visual journals and worked together to complete some literacy and numeracy activities as well.

We also went on the computers for the first time this year! Everyone did a fantastic job logging in and exploring engaging math and coding games that helped reinforce number sense and problem-solving skills. 

Please note: Students did not write a letter to home this week due to Halloween activities. You can expect them again starting next Friday!

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. ...
