Hello Parents and Campers!

MATH:  As I mentioned in my last post, this week, we will be hitting on 2 math units: 
Geometry of 2D shapes and Measurement with Mass and Capacity.  The measurement mark will be used together with the assessment that was done on Calendar/Time and Temperature.

SOCIAL STUDIES TEST: Wednesday we will have our unit test on the 3 Land Regions in Ontario; The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Lowlands, The Canadian Shield and The Hudson Bay Lowlands.
Please review tonight in your child's green duo tang coming home.



MUSIC TEST: In lieu of a language quiz this Friday, we will be having a Music test.  Campers are to select any song in their Music duo tangs and practise for the test this week.  It can be ANY song of their choice.  Criteria I am looking for when assessing their song on the recorder:

Criteria for Music Test:

  1. Proper sitting position (edge of seat, back straight)
  2. Holding recorder correctly (left hand on top)
  3. Playing the notes correctly (quarter notes, half notes, whole notes)
  4. Tapping foot along to the best while playing
  5. Reading the correct notes to the song. 

THRoW:  Campers did a great job of applying bump up strategies in their THRoW this week!  Great strides in improving their reading responses!  Well done, all!  Looking forward to more great responses this week!

Well, that's all for now!

SECRET QUESTION:  How do we SHOW on a shape that it has a pair of parallel sides?
