This Week at TIP: March 15, 2010

Last week we welcomed a new student, Nanase, into our class. TIP children have been doing a great job helping her to find her way around and get used to our classroom. A big happy welcome to Nanase!
This week at TIP we will be focussing on the letter Qq, alongside u. We will revisit independent learning skills and behaviors and apply them in independent learning centres. Children will be encouraged to choose a learning centre that they can work at for the duration of the lesson, and that they will enjoy learning about. This week these options will be language arts and unit of inquiry (Places and faces of our school) based.

We hope that as the weather starts to warm up we can spend more time outdoors exploring and noting changes in our environment.

We hope that you all have a wonderful and warm week!
