Dear Division 11 Families, <\/span><\/p>\n

February is the Month of Love!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Remarkably<\/span><\/p>\n

We are launching our Month of Love, starting with “Love Myself.”<\/strong> We read Remarkably You<\/em> by Pat Zietlow Miller, encouraging our students to embrace what makes them unique and special.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, we brainstormed messages to write on paper candy hearts\u2014messages students wanted to send to themselves.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>For our art project, we designed our hearts with a base layer of oil pastels, followed by a layer of wet acrylic paint. Then, using sharp pencil crayons, students scratched their messages onto each heart. Our classroom wall is now filled with these heartfelt reminders, reinforcing positive self-talk and self-love.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Social Studies<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

We are wrapping up our We Are All Connected<\/em> unit by exploring our connection to the land. We began by studying the moon\u2014its phases, their names, and the science behind them. Then, we read Taan\u2019s Moon<\/em> and learned how the people of Haida Gwaii named the moon phases based on knowledge passed down through generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Math<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

We are so proud of the growth our students have shown in the past few weeks! Many are challenging themselves with three-digit addition and subtraction problems. They are doing a fantastic job communicating and representing their learning in different ways. This week, they will focus on another strategy, decomposing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Story Writing<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Our students are becoming skilled at writing dialogue using quotation marks! We worked on making our writing more engaging by using descriptive words instead of repeatedly writing “said.”<\/em> We also explored how to describe a character\u2019s actions and emotions while they speak.<\/span><\/p>\n

A great example of this is the book How I Met My Monster<\/em> (part of a series\u2014check out the other books by the same author!). This book does an excellent job of showing how dialogue can make writing more dynamic and engaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for your support!<\/span><\/p>\n

Warm regards,<\/span>
