Bracelet Patterns

Dear Parents,

Tomorrow is our field trip. Mr. Eloi is my +1, but I look forward to doing more trips this year and hope that we'll be able to use your support then. The students were really excited today about the trip and I hope they enjoy the show tomorrow.  We should be back by lunchtime, so lunch will follow as normal and students will also have library tomorrow afternoon. Return those books if you can find them!

Last week was short but full. I've managed to see all but a few of the parents in the classroom to touch base about student progress.

We were also lucky enough last week to be able to see some Native North American Powwow dancing. The Men's fancy style was students' hands-down favourite, but they also appreciated the Jingle Dancing.

And we finished our math unit on Patterning. In case you wondered why your child came home with a new bracelet over the weekend, this was why. Each bracelet has a core of 5, which repeats in a circle. It's nice to consolidate learning in fun ways when we can.








Friday is Mr. Eloi's last day with us. It's also Pizza Day, so I suspect I may have some volunteers in the afternoon and we hope to make a mini-learning celebration out of it. 

Sincerely, 

Ms. Goegan
