Mrs. Spreen's Class Blog

My/Our resolution before Christmas was to get better at writing this blog, and I/we had been doing well; however, I/we fell short of our goal.  We are going to try again... Math - After an awesome two week trial period,we don't have Mathletics anymore! It was a great experience, but we are unable to subscribe at this time.  In our original math books, we started Distributive property and we are having a blast with multiplication.                                                                                                                                                                                                      LA - In LA we started using our knowledge of figurative language to 'pick it out' of stories we are reading.  Some of the types of figurative language that we are looking for are: similes, metaphors, idioms, hyperbole, personification, alliteration and allusion. Science - We ended our third unit Wheels and Levers  this week with a unit final on Tue

The first week of skating is fast approaching and here are some tidbits of information. 1) Share the skating schedule  - it has been finalized and it's always nice if volunteers know when they are to be at the rink.  Skate tying help is strongly encouraged as it helps get your kids onto the ice that much faster. Here is a shareable link  that will give you access to the skating schedule without needing a password or approval:   https://docs.google.com/ spreadsheets/d/ 1pnr6rvawbaObBcjIHDOYY2dtfoAjo w1m5to9L4DL9vE/edit?usp= sharing 2)   Students need to wear CSA approved helmets  - ie. hockey helmets (need a full cage if they are wanting to play shinny), downhill skiing helmets, horseback riding helmets - Absolutely NO BIKE HELMETS will be allowed. 3) School skates/helmets  - The school does have skates and helmets that can be borrowed by students should they find they do not have skates that fit or a helmet meeting the CSA requirement. 4) Jackets on!  All stude
