I can name the seasons.
I can see how the land changes when the sun gets warm.
I can name animals that sleep all winter.
I can explain what migration is and why animals migrate.
I can explain what hibernation is.
I can tell how animals stay warm in the snow.
This week in Science, students began their exciting Earth Sciences unit, and with spring arriving, it was the perfect time to start exploring seasonal changes in the world around us. So far, students have been learning about spring and summer changes, hibernation and winter survival, and animal migration. As we enter the planting season, students have been thinking about how the Earth “wakes up” after the long winter months and noticing the many changes happening in nature.
In math, students also practiced the months of the year and the four seasons through seasonal activities and discussions. We further enriched our learning by exploring First Nations’ perspectives on the Spring Equinox, including how Indigenous peoples observed animal behaviour and changes in nature to recognize seasonal transitions.
Learning Intentions:
I can skip safely in my own space.
I can skip using a step and hop pattern.
I can skip at different speeds.
I can show coordination and balance while skipping.
I can stop and start skipping with control.
This week in Gym, students practiced their skipping skills to prepare for our school-wide Heart and Stroke’s “Jump Rope for Heart” Day. Skipping is a cost-effective way to get cardio exercise, and we talked about the importance of including cardio in their lives to improve their overall health. Students learned easy, healthy habits and helped raise funds to support lifesaving heart and brain research. Thanks to our TRS families who shared their time and resources for this worthwhile cause.
At Home Learning:
Literacy (Vocabulary):
Ask your child to practice naming the months, days and seasons. You can name a month or day and ask which month or day comes before and after it.
Math:
Your child brought home basic facts to practice. Please have them complete the work to build faster recall.
