Southwood Schools Annual

Dear Families, Winter Concert
I have had the pleasure of Wednesday, December 20, 2017
caring for your children for
almost 3 months now -- at 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
it's hard to believe it is
going so fast!!! We have at Southwood School
covered many things in
that time and have seen featuring grades 4 - 8
the children grow so much
in this short time.

Winter break is just

Thank you to all
who donated breakfast
cereal, hot cereal and
granola bars. We are so
proud to be a part of such
a great cause.
around the corner and so is that nasty
winter weather. Please remember that
your child needs to always have a pair
of indoor shoes at school. Boots will
not be permitted in the classroom as
they are a safety concern with dirt
and snow.
 This month your child is starting a
mathematics unit on geometry. In this
unit your child will learn to:
- Describe angles
- Name, describe and sort figures
and solids
- Identify congruent figures and
solids
- Make pictures and models with
figures
- Make structures from solids
When you are at the grocery store look
for congruent shapes, then have your
child name the solids.
When youre in the car or on a bus,
look for structures that are made out
of different solids, e.g., a house can
be made out of prisms and pyramids.
Canadian Heritage 1780-1850
This month we will be exploring the

roles of people in society.
