Hi everyone,
In Literacy, we're continuing with our unit on non-fiction texts. We took a little break from writing our information texts on student-picked topics so that we could further explore a variety of text features and writing samples.
In Math, the students are generally doing well with 3 digit addition and subtraction; we have been learning about different ways to manage data; and we are investigating probability - including frequency of outcomes and fairness in games. Next week, we will be exploring money and continuing with EQAO practice questions.
Just a reminder that EQAO testing will be happening from May 21st to May 29th. If possible, please try to arrange appointments so that your child will be in school these days, especially in the mornings. EQAO focuses on all of the literacy and math skills that your child has learned from Grade 1 through Grade 3. Since the beginning of the year, we have been practising old EQAO questions and using the vocabulary found in the test so that all of the children are familiar with the format and wording of the test questions. I've also been trying to emphasize to them that they shouldn't be stressed about the test - they should just try their best and use the strategies we've discussed.
As always, please contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Mrs. Jen Farley
