Welcome to February!

Dear Families, 

Welcome to February! I hope all families have had a great start to 2015!

January has been a busy month for Chung Stars. We were fortunate enough to participate in Abilities Day where students experienced first-hand what it feels like to have a disability. It was very informative and a great experience! We also had Reptilia visit our school and we got to touch many amazing animals!

In this class update newsletter, you will find important information about our class and the big ideas in our learning.

If you any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school or write me a note in your child’s agenda

Looking forward to another exciting month of learning,
Ms. Chung :) 

February Big Ideas

Big Ideas In Our Learning For This Month…

Reading – We are learning to use a variety of reading strategies before, during and after we read. We are learning to make connections and explain how they help us understand the text better. We are learning to engage with the texts we read by synthesizing what we read. We are also learning to be text analyzers by looking at how texts we read, can change the way we think about certain issues and topics.

Writing – We are learning to generate many strong supporting details to explain our main ideas. We are learning to use interesting sentences and word choice in our writing pieces. We are learning to add voice to our writing to match the purpose and audience of our writing pieces.

Oral – We are learning to listen to understand and respond appropriately in a variety of situations for a variety of purposes. We are learning to present in a clear, loud and fluent voice with eye contact to our audience.

Media – We are learning to understand the features of a variety of media texts. We are learning to identify the purpose, audience and messages media forms convey. We will critically look at features of a website and how the features convey meaning. We will also look into coding and how apps are made.   

Math – We are learning to choose the most appropriate unit of measure for linear dimensions. We are learning to find the perimeter and area of a variety of polygons.

Science- We are learning the unique characteristics and properties of rocks as a result of how they were formed. We are learning how their properties determine how we use rocks in our society.

Social Studies – By mid – end February we will be learning about Canada’s Regions.  

Arts –We are learning to use elements of Drama to perform a dramatic play.   

Health – We are learning why eating healthy meals are important to the growth and development of our bodies.
