Dear Parents and Guardians,
Student-Led Conferences are coming soon! The purpose of these conferences is to provide your child the opportunity to share their accomplishments and celebrate all they have learned this year. Please note, we have made some changes to this year’s conference schedule: · On Wednesday, March 18, all students along with their families are invited to come to Rosscarrock School any time between 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Plan on being here with your child for about 30 minutes. · There is no need for you to sign up for a conference time. · Your child will lead you through a series of activities and displays that showcase their learning. If your child’s teacher feels there is a need to formally meet to discuss you child’s learning, they will contact you to schedule a meeting time. These meetings will take place on Thursday, March 19, between 8:00 am to 12:30 pm. You do not need to sign up as the teacher will contact you directly. The Scholastic Book Fair will be taking place in the Library on both of these dates. You are invited to please visit with your child to shop for books. We look forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday evening, March 18, for a night of celebrating our learning! Sincerely, Ms. Brenna Fraser Principal, Rosscarrock School [email protected]

Families, PLEASE watch for your students reflection journal this weekend. I have provided an ORANGE FEEDBACK slip on today's entry for you to write directly on. Students love receiving feedback from their families, please tell them one them you loved about their writing and one thing for them to remember for next week.
Also, don't forget that inline skating starts next week. Please ensure your student wears socks everyday!! After we completed our Thursday Word Scramble during writer's workshop, students moved into science and continued their exploration of Hot vs. Cold. Today, we practiced describing items as either hotter or colder. We reviewed that by adding an "er" to the end of word we are saying "more". Students first practiced sorting items into either the hot or cold categories and then we played "I have, Who has?". Each student had their own item and had to describe it as either hotter or colder than someone else's item...for example "I have an igloo and an igloo is colder than the sun", then it would be the sun's turn! Afterwards, Grade two students were able to "Show What They Know" as a wrap up to our 2D Shapes unit. Students worked to identify the parts of a shape. Grade 1 students practiced counting on from 10 to find "how many more". With the help of a ten frame or hundreds chart, students can find out how many more a number is than 10. Practice with the below: Today was also our final day writing our "Red is Best" pattern books! Tomorrow, student's will review their work against their checklist to ensure they have included all the required pieces in their writing and we will begin practicing reading our books out loud to friends! Students are so looking forward to sharing their work with families during Student Led Conferences on March 18th and 19th.
Ordering numbers can be a bit tricky. What do you do when you get to the end of the line of numbers you're reading? Well, just like reading, we move down and to the left! Have students practice with the below charts: Students are moving along with their book reports on The Land of Stories! The twins just met Froggy and were told about the wishing spell...I wonder what will happen next? Our Red is Best pattern stories are also coming right along! Students are working so hard to get their books reading for Student Led Conferences. Speaking of which, please watch for a notice regarding the schedule for March 18th (after school) and March 19th (all day).
Families, please look in your students' backpack for a notice regarding inline skating next week. This program will run Monday March 9th to Thursday March 12. Please be sure that your student is wearing socks every day and that extra snacks and water are included in their lunches. Students began writing their Red is Best pattern stories today! After lots of planning, students were able to create the first page of their stories! We are so excited to display our creations at Student Led Conferences March 18 and 19th! In math, grade 2s started their 2D shapes unit projects. Each student has been given a shape that they need to make a classroom poster for! Students are following the below criteria: Grade 1s continue to develop their counting strategies! Today we worked on ordering numbers up to 20. Using the reading pattern (left to right) students are able to place numbers in order with and without the assistance of a number chart! You can practice with the below: Finally, students showed what they know about Iqaluit today! Using an interactive game, students answered several questions about the unique way of life in Iqaluit. We focused on the geography, early days, and traditions! It was a great way to wrap up our Iqaluit unit in Social Students.
