Weekly Highlights:
Students~
- completed the unit 1 math test on patterns and equations and started a new unit on whole numbers to 10 000. The class is currently learning different ways to represent numbers (ie. standard form, expanded form, words, place value, picture, Base Ten blocks).
- learned about the power of yet in health class and worked on a 4-step plan to learn something they do not know how to do...yet!
- conducted an outdoor field study in science class on our playground to examine the living things that might live there.
- participated in an author's visit with Trina Markusson. Mrs. Markusson shared what inspired her to write the book Good Morning, Sunshine and shared a few helpful tools for mindfulness. We will work on incorporating more mindfulness tools into our school day.
- started a Monster Exchange project. They listened to a humourous book about monsters and then completed a listening activity to draw one that was being described. This week, students will create their own drawings and write descriptions to accompany their work. Stay tuned!
- continued their work in social studies learning about the Boreal Plain ecozone. We will be learning about the Prairies in upcoming lessons.
