A Rainy Friday :(

Hello parents and students of division 2,

Today we had a really busy day and a very productive week.  It is getting very close to Christmas break and I told the class that I want everyone to finish the race sprinting.  Things will get busy in the next couple of weeks, but I would like us to stay focused and finish the year strong!  We can do it.  Sorry the monthly newsletter has not gone home yet.  I've been busy working on reports, so I'm hoping to have it ready to go for next week.  Thank you for your patience.

Important Reminder: please bring in your food donations and money donations for our food hamper.  We have been assigned a young couple with two young children that are in need over the holidays.  Thank you for your contributions.

This week in Div 02 we covered the following:

Math- we continued to look at adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators, comparing mixed and improper fractions and ordering fractions.  Please use the blog to practice the concepts we are learning in class.

Gym- we have been learning some basketball skills (ball handling skills, layups) and we learned a new fit camp workout this week.

LA- we have made a strong push to finish our lit circle novels (please read them this weekend) before the break.  We continued to practice our Daily 5 and complete book chats.  We also continued to work on our personal narrative rough drafts.

Art- we started to decorate our class and work on a variety of art activities to make our room feel festive.

French- weather expressions.  I'm hoping we can use the I-Pads to film short weather skits.

Podding is done for the term.

Have a great weekend!

Mr. T
