Highlights:
- Students have been working on creating their own Wacky Web Tales as part of work around the Parts of Speech. As students complete their story, they are presenting them to the class and then filling out a self-assessment about how they think it went.
- We have also been looking at the geographic regions of Alberta. We started with the Canadian Shield, and moved on to the Boreal Forest today. Students are making infographics to communicate what they have learned about these regions.
- In Math, we have been examining different ways of expressing numbers, and looking at rounding as a strategy for estimating and mental math. We have also been doing some assessment that will help us to break students up into math groups.
- Students began learning French last week and have been learning vocabulary around greetings: Hello, What is your name?, My name is ..., How are you?, answers to "How are you?", thank you, you're welcome, and goodbye.
- We have been learning about zen tangles with Mrs. Sayani in Art, and Mrs. Hargreaves has been talking about the impact of human waste in Science.
Important Information:
- If you have not yet had a chance to look at your child's Home Journal, please do that as soon as possible and send the journal back to school.
- We are working on a project in class and need some recyclable plastic (bottles, lids, small containers, etc.). Please send any that you have to school tomorrow.
- Students will have a chance to tour the book fair tomorrow, and will have the opportunity to buy books on Thursday. The book fair will also be running throughout Parent-Teacher Conference times.
- Any students who have not finished their Wacky Web Tale have been asked to complete it at home.
