Hi everyone! We have had a busy month full of activities and have more to come.
Health Education
On Monday, we will be having the first of two Health sessions given by Martha Solomon from Mosaic Sexual Education. She will be a guest presenter in our class for 2 lessons. The focus of the lessons will align with our curriculum and will discuss the following topics:
- Names for parts of the body, including genitals
- Appropriate and inappropriate ways of being touched
- Hazards and potentially unsafe situations
- Strategies and skills to use in potentially hazardous, unsafe, or abusive situationsÂ
- Factors that influence self-identity
Please follow up with your child if he or she has any questions to bring home.
Scholastic Book Fair
We will preview books for sale in the library on Monday. You may purchase books before school with your child on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Our class will visit the book fair together on Thursday to make purchases as well.
Math
This week, we have been learning about fractions! Next week, students will apply what they have learned during independent work.
French
Students finished reading, studying and writing about novels in small groups. Now we are reading shorter stories and discussing them for fun!
Science
We had a guest presenter from the City of Kamloops who did a presentation about our community’s water. Students brought home activity booklets that hilight some of the messages in the presentation. We will follow up on what we learned next week.
Swimming
We will be swimming on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 5th. Make sure your child’s permission form is returned to school by June 1 please. Thank-you!
