This rake stood as a reminder of when farming was far smaller, consisting of many more narrow passes across a field, exposed to the elements. Rather than raking, its work was now to hold up a wire gate when open. It was doing an excellent job.

This past week of frigid weather sure made that prediction accurate. In March we’ll be counting Lion (stormy cold weather) and Lamb (mild nice weather) days. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for “Lamb Days”. In March Paddy comes back! That means we will be making traps for our building unit. Maybe this year we will catch him :) In language arts we are starting our research unit. This year students will be researching animals that live in Alberta. They will learn about “key ideas” and writing outlines from text. Then they will use their outlines to write paragraphs. The final project will be done on Google Slides. In math we are continuing to practice and memorize basic facts for addition and subtraction of facts families to 18. The grade 1s will be adding one digit numbers up to 20, the grade 2s will be adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers, and grade 3s will be adding 3 digit numbers. The grades 2-3 will learn how to add and subtract with and without regrouping. Science across the grades: Grade 1 will be building mini objects of everyday things. We will be learning different ways to attach items with glue, tape, pipe cleaners, and paper clips. They will also complete a mini­unit in Spring. We will be looking for signs of spring to add to our spring chart. Grades 2-3 starting their unit on Exploring
