Hi Folks!
Me again. Such a busy time! This time it's more of an academic message. Here is what will be covering up until March break.
- Math: Home-learning had some newer concepts to cover. We will be reviewing these to make sure students are bang on. How can you help? Good ol' fashion multiplication times tables.
- Grade 3:
- Responsible: up to 5x5
- this week - subtraction with regrouping (ex. 421-385)
- then - reviewing/reteaching multiplication and division
- Grade 4:
- Responsible: up to 9x9
- this week - multiplication 2 or 3 digit by 1 digit (ex. 62x4)
- then - master division 2 or 3 digits by 1 digit (ex. 84 divided by 7)
- French - continue with reading strategies and sound of the week etc. How can you help? Read their guided reading book aloud for homework.
- French & English - It's Black History month! This will be our focus in both French literacy and English class. We will be reading books, writing and discussing!
- Science - we are growing plants in our classroom.
- Extras - upcoming will be skating and snowshoeing.
As always, if you have any questions - shout out! Here's hoping this week everyone is into a more settled routine and students are..... back to themselves!

Hi folks!
Students have been doing great with review, catching up and their writing. So proud of them and their positive attitudes. As always, King Street is forever busy and here are a few points to know.
- Book Order: Sent home today and due on Wednesday. Shared shipping to save money will be done if we have enough orders. Simply at tax. Or, you can order direct to your door for a price. Our class code is RC198054.
- Valentine's Day: Store bought treats and Valentine exchange will be on Monday. Class list is below.
- Olympics: Lots of theme days have been sent home. Our class country is Poland and our colours are white and red.
- Solo Speech: If anyone is interested in solo speech, let Mrs Comeau or myself know! A fun experience for sure!
Thank you again for all your efforts during our time away. While you folks did great, I sure would rather teach them myself!

- Gym clothes
- All home-learning completed during our time away to be sent back to school
- Any projects coming back to school (Grade 3 animal habitats or Grade 4 provinces)

- Water bottle
- SNOW PANTS!
*Also, MONDAY & TUESDAY: PJ day for our class! Students request. I think they deserve it!*
A massive standing ovation to each every one of my wonderful families and students during this time away. I am extremely appreciative for all of your efforts.
Until Monday!

Hi folks,
I know the home-learning is getting....long. Do what you can. I made videos for each day and for each grade level to help alleviate some stress (https://sway.office.com/AyFBGh16LuW6RCYo). The online programs are simpler and students can be independent.
While I'd like for the home-learning to continue, I also understand that we all have our limits.
If you and/or your child is stressing and need a break, here are some informal learning that I completely encourage. Use them in lieu of the home-learning for the day and pick-up where you left off next time.
- Sign-up for this year's Solo Speech Competition. Find the information here: Solo Speech Sign-up | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca)
- Check out the live cams at the San Diego Zoo. Talk about habitats, animal needs, environmental changes etc. Live Cams | San Diego Zoo
- Build something out of snow as a family like a fort or snow slide (Dad Creates Fun Ice Slide In Backyard - YouTube)
- Bake some family recipes or have kids make new ones. Here's a neat site: 19 Easy Recipes That Kids Can Make | Cooking With Kids : Food Network | Food Network
- Look through old family photos and show kids how you used to be "fun" in your younger years.
Be well and stay positive. This too shall pass!

Hi folks,
Next week's home-learning package can be picked up from the school between 8:30-3:30 tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday. If you're unable to make it during those hours, please let me know and we can make other arrangements.
Also, please oh please check out the sway site (https://sway.office.com/AyFBGh16LuW6RCYo) which has and will continue to have "how to" videos which will help your child(ren) - and you - with the work.
I appreciate all your efforts during this time, and I hope it's not giving you folks too much of a headache! Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions or if your child just needs a little encouragement or smile.
We will continue to have teams @1pm daily for informal French chatting and listening. Next week we will be writing so I will also have a "drop in" call in the morning. It'll simply be me there should your child need any help with their writing.
Thinking of each one of your silly sweet kids. Thank you again for all your efforts.

Hi everyone!
Home-learning packs are great but don't forget that there are videos with examples found here: https://sway.office.com/AyFBGh16LuW6RCYo. They can really help you out!
Also, at today's team meeting (Wednesday, January 19th @1pm) students will be wearing a costume! hehe. Brighten things up a little! Please remind them to keep video and microphone on throughout the meeting. It's great to see and chat with them!
As always, feel free to ask me for any help, direction etc.
