Dear Parents:
Here is a brief overview of what we are learning in the classroom:
Spelling--There will be no spelling test this Friday. Instead, students should study for an immigration and heritage quiz this Friday.
Bible--Students have completed some great projects that chronicle the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke.
Writing--Students have written about the Kingdom of God. Here are some samples of what students wrote:
"Anyone can enter the Kingdom of God. Not only Christians, but sinners can be part of the Kingdom."--Hannah
"To enter the Kingdom of God, you must leave everything and repent, like Levi who asked Jesus for forgiveness."--Noor
"In the Kingdom of God Jesus shows love by healing the sick and helping people in need."--Andy
Science--Students are learning about renewable resources in British Columbia. We will develop a Christian perspective on how humans may be responsible stewards of God's creation. Students should review Chapter 9 in preparation for their test on Thursday, March 14th.
Social Studies--Students have completed their Heritage Projects and are learning about immigration in Canada. Please see our students projects on our website.
Here are some reasons why people from all over the world wish to live in Canada:
"Canada is the best place to live because we have proper medical care."--Rebekah
"Canadian citizens can say things against the government without being killed or thrown into prison."--Odelia
"People from other countries stay in Canada to find jobs and earn money fro their families."--Daniel
Math--Students are learning about measurement concepts such as perimeter, area, and volume.
Art--Students are learning about the life of Emily Carr, a famous Canadian artist who made her home in Victoria. Much of her art work was inspired from the land and First Nations in British Columbia.
Reading--Currently, we are reading stories of immigrants, the challenges they have leaving their homeland to begin a new life in Canada. Students will share about their particular book with the whole class.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about your child.
Blessings,
Mr.Wu
