Happy first week of December!

Some important reminders:

  • Please continue to practice basic fact fluency at home for at least 10 to 15 minutes every day (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

Here is what we have been up to this week:

We wrote compliments to our classmates. We talked about how amazing you feel when you spread kindness and happiness to others :)

Writing - We wrote about a place that Mrs. Desai should go to for a vacation. We created a postcard to go along with our paragraph.
 

 


Science - We did a gravity experiment on Monday. Later on this week, we played with magnets and explored how magnets work.

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

Math - We learned how to solve word problems involving decimals numbers using a strategy called RICE. We will have a Show What You Know on Monday to see how our math skills are being applied. Make sure you are practicing math daily at home.  Today, we also did math stations.
 

 

 

 
  

 

Buddies - We explored Ozobots with our buddies!
 

 

 

Art/Writing/Reading - This is a project that we will continue working on next week. Today, we listened to Snowmen at Night and drew our snowman. We brainstormed what our snowman would do at night.

A few important reminders for back to school: Please ensure that you check the blog every Friday as this will be the main form of communication regarding student activities during the school day and upcoming events. Please also read through the Northern Lights News every Friday - found on the school website here. Personal Mobile Devices and Social Media Use in Our School - K - 9 students will not be permitted to use personal mobile devices during the school day. Student devices brought to school must be out of sight and either powered off or set to silent.

Welcome! We are so excited to be starting the 2024-2025 year with you! This year, our whole school will be using Blogger to make regular agenda posts.  To make it easier for you, you can add the blog right on to the home screen of your phone or iPad by following the directions on the “Adding Blogger to Home Screen” document. We hope this makes the communication between home and school easier and opens up great conversations between you and your child.  The CBE and Mrs. Brinson will be communicating information to you through School Messenger email titled ‘Northern Lights News for ___”. This email will include a link to the Northern Lights School Website so messages can be translated into any language.  To make sure you receive these email messages, please SUBSCRIBE using the email address you gave to the school.   - Ms. Vashi

Happy reading! To help support your child's numeracy skills, pra...
