Help support the Koalas and Kangas!

Remember to hand in field trip forms as soon as possible.

The CHS “Coventry Cares Club” is asking students and families to support our latest initiative “Koalas & Kangas” by bringing a loonie or a toonie to school between January 20 and March 19, 2020. The students thought that this would be a good way to be global citizens and make a difference by helping and supporting animals that have been affected by the current Australian wildfires. With your help, we hope to send a really BIG cheque to one of the charities currently rescuing and nursing injured koalas and kangaroos. The BEST part of this project is that Mrs. Verstraete’s daughter, Miss V., is currently teaching in Brisbane, AU, and can personally deliver our money to the charity of our choice. She will also send us back some pictures of our money in action! Thanks for your help and support of “Koalas & Kangas”!

In math, we learned 2 new card games, Sneaky Place Value, and Go Fish.  Have your child teach you these games.  It only requires a deck of cards!

As a class, we practiced writing a paragraph with all the ingredients.  We also practiced editing it to make it even better.  

In social we began looking at the geographic location of Tunisia.  We are applying our knowledge to our inquiry project as we scout out a great place to build a zoo.

We continued our buddy writing in Daily 5.  Tomorrow we will have an opportunity to share what we have written so far.
