Please share a dairy soup recipe with our class (email it to a.rapoport@theojcs.ca). The OJCS is compiling a cookbook and we would love to add your recipe. If it is from a cookbook, please cite which one it is from. Please send these recipes as soon as possible.
Thanks!!!
Homework this week, memorize both the Hebrew and English lines for the Chumash party.
Two months to summer vacation, however, here at the OJCS there is still work to be done. Take a look at just some of the highlights.
Recess: No more snowsuits!
Math:
Numbers/Algebra- This term we are practicing two or three digit addition and subtraction with regrouping, rounding numbers (to the nearest 10, 100 and/or 1,000) depending where you are in your learning journey. Further understanding the relationship between addition and multiplication, division and subtraction (explaining and sharing strategies) and fractions are just some of what we have covered within our numeracy blocks. As we work on every strand, ensuring they are working in their Just Right level. Remember the first step is demonstrating to me that they can independently complete the tasks assigned before moving on to that next level.
Coding- Our students have been introduced to Scratch Jr. Coding is the new literacy! With Scratch Jr., young children can program their own interactive stories and games. In the process, they learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. These session take place in the Makerspace under the guidance of Mr. Ray.
Word Problems- The students are working on solving measurement and fraction problems. There are two very important expectations that I reiterate each lesson, reread your problem before you start and always show your work. My ultimate goal for them is to all love math and not be afraid to take risks.
Science:
In Science our focus currently is on the study of liquids and solids. Through experiments our students are discovering that materials that exist as liquids and solids have specific properties and interactions.
Ruach!
Language Arts:
Writing- This past month was poetry month. The students were introduced to many different styles of poetry (acrostic, cinquain and limericks). The book of poems that they are preparing for our Generation’s Day Poetry Slam is just about completed and includes a French poem they are eager to share.
1. On Wednesday, April 26, students are asked to come in any form of blue and white (still adhering to the dress code) in celebration of Israel’s 75th birthday!!!
2. The school along with the PTA will be providing Falafel in pita with hummus and salad to all the students as one of the many fun stations (the falafel will be gluten-free and we are attempting to find gluten free pitas). This does not replace lunch.
3. Our Dress Down Day on Friday, April 28th will benefit the Jewish National Fund of Canada, so don’t forget your loonies and toonies!
4. EARLY NOTICE: Thursday, May 25th will be designated a MILK / PAREVE day in order to be able to serve dairy treats in honour of the holiday of Shavuot! Please mark your calendars!
Each Monday a student will choose a homework task from the week and it should be completed for the following Monday. There is no homework on Shabbat or Jewish holidays. Please let me know if it is taking more than 10 minutes each night. (send me an email). This homework should be able to be completed independently. Please note, daily reading is required, a book of their choosing.
Please note creating a poem is optional.
