Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful March break with the kids and are enjoying your weekend! Everyone came back refreshed and eager to start back up again! Many students have been busy participating in sports, leadership and other activity groups that Minesing offers. We have welcomed Ms. Wale to our class. She is a student teacher from Lakehead University and will be joining us till the end of April. It is so wonderful to see how respectful, polite and welcoming all of the students have been! Such wonderful character!

Here are a few updates regarding some units that we will be doing. We will be starting up Fractions as our next unit in Math, and are just finishing up with 2D and 3D Geometry. For Writing we will be starting Poetry very soon, which will also lead into our school poetry competition! In Reading we have just started up a novel study unit on Hatchet, which will be used throughout our Daily 4 guided reading rotation. Students will be working towards specific CAFE goals throughout the rotation. They were all excited to read this novel, so I am anxious to see the thought and ideas that will come through in their comprehension tasks. It really makes such a difference when they connect to the text with such interest! In Science, we have started up our unit on Space. This unit will allow for some great STEAM activities which I am excited about, and I know the students will be as well.
