So far...

It has been a great start to the year and the class is already developing positive and respectful routines around the class and towards learning.

Here are some of the activities and topics that have been introduced/covered so far:

  • lots around safety and expectations around the school
  • Right to Play - an organization with a motto/philosophy about "Looking after yourself and Looking after others" - this way of thinking is being adopted by Pineland
  • Reading Strategies (there are 6 specific strategies we discuss - test your kids!) are being taught and practised through a class read aloud novel called "Dunk" by David Lubar
  • Math - exploring whole numbers and developing an understanding of magnitude and various ways to represent numbers (Gr. 5 - up to 100 000, Gr. 6 - up to 1 000 000)
