One In A Minion

Dear Parents,

It is wonderful to be back! I have missed my students so much. I am so thankful for all the wonderful substitute Teachers who covered all my classes while I was gone. Your child was in good hands every single day!

Literacy:

We read two awesome stories called Dad’s Big Plan and Dog School. The students loved reading about a dog that attends school to learn how to behave better. They all learned from his example.

Math:

In Math lessons we learned about flat surfaces and corners. The students were able to count the flat surfaces as well as counting the vertices. Then we sorted solid figures. They are all able to identify geometric solids and sort them accordingly. We finished Topic 8, and did our Quiz.

In topic 9 we will focus on Patterns. The students will also learn how to predict what pattern comes next.

Social Studies:

For Social Studies we focused on CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD. We are hoping to cover countries like: America, Canada, Sweden, Italy, Mexico, France,England and Germany. The students love learning about Christmas traditions and festivities in other countries.

Science:

We finished the Chapter 3 on People. The students did their Quiz, and we are ready to start the new Chapter on Living Things and Where They Live.

Art: In our Art lesson we made Christmas Stockings with “Christmassy” colors. The students love Christmas and all the joy and cheer that goes with it.

I am looking forward to see you at our Christmas Show next Friday evening, which starts at 18:30! The students are very excited to get on the stage and show off their “singing” talents.

Thank you again for all your support I feel everyday, especially with the passing of my Father, Albert. Life is short! We need to appreciate every single day we have, appreciate every loved-one and individual in our lives. Make those phone calls, tell them how much you love them.

Appreciate life and work with JOY!

Have a blessed weekend! Stay warm!

Mrs. Slabbert
