Literacy Assignments this week:
The Fairytale writing assignment is complex and will be our writing for the next 2 weeks as we are taking students through the writing process. Please encourage your child to start this assignment early this week. We will available to answer questions at our scheduled meet times and will be providing feedback throughout the process. There may be several returns of one assignment to ensure that feedback is being incorporated into their scripts.Science this week:
For science this week, we are doing an experiment about the decomposition of food. For this experiment, students will watch an instructional video about how to grow mold and how to set that up in their own house. This is completely optional for your family. Mrs. Brophy will be posting the photos of the mold experiment she has set up starting on Tuesday and students can use these pictures for their observation. The pictures will be posted each day by 9:30 am on the classroom stream. We know that families have a variety of health concerns and potentially limited access to the resources for this experiment that could make participation challenging.I Can Statements:
