Hello Room 8 families,

Can you believe it is already the end of January! Those first couple of weeks back to school went by really quickly!

What have we been up to? Well, this week the students in Room 8...

- discussed some differences and similarities between urban and rural communities

-  practiced our mild, medium, or spicy addition 

- had fun with some subitizing challenges (recognizing and name familiar arrangements of 1 to 10 objects)

- worked on informational writing about animals

- learned new watercolour painting techniques 

Check out our work below!

  Family Literacy Day
  
  Today is Family Literacy Day! A GREAT day to remember the importance of reading and engaging in literacy as a family.
  
  To celebrate this day, staff came together to read a special book. We invite you to gather as a family and enjoy this story together. CLICK HERE
  
  You can also contribute to our LBS Community of Writers Padlet.
  
  You will find it at this link in your inbox as it was emailed yesterday. We would love for you to share with our community, the ways that your family WRITES at home. As a school, we have been exploring the purpose of writing. We look forward to seeing the ways that our LBS families write, what tools hey use and why it is important. You can share a photo and a description.
