Highlights of our week ...
In Social Studies we have been continuing with the Alberta Road Trip project. Students are starting to put their information together for their posters. One of the requirements is to put all of the stops of their road trip on to a map of Alberta. Here they are working on putting information from the big map, on to the little map:
We also went to visit our Kindergarten Buddies and helped them fill out some surveys about what makes them unique.
In Math we have been continuing to analyze the data from our attendance "Would you rather ..." questions by compiling them into pie graphs and writing the corresponding fractions. We also spent time this week doing some problem solving with the "3-Act Problems" where we practiced our "I see ...", "I think ...", and "I wonder".
In Science Mr. Barker taught us about the idea of "force". Ask your child about that experiment!
Creative Movement will continue until the end of next week. Here is the schedule for the final dance performances, as well as the Spirit Days, for the final week of school:
