A glance at our week: 

This week in writing we practiced editing writing for capitals and punctuation. We also introduced another one of our literacy stations; book making! Ask me what my mini book is going to be about. 

   

We continued reading Out of My Mind. 

 

Melody's mom showed some powerful qualities this week. Ask me what she did when she took Melody to the doctor. 

This week in math we continued working with large numbers. We used manipulatives to help us expand big numbers, and decimal numbers too! 

  

We continue to practice word form. That one is kind of tricky. 

We have done some interesting work with mapping in Social Studies. 

Ask me what the equator is. 

Ask me what the prime meridian is. 

Ask me what the difference is between longitude and latitude. 



National Day of Truth and Reconciliation had us quite busy this week. We read and listened to a variety of stories about Orange Shirt Day. We listened to a live reading of a book called If Instead Of a Person. 










We also learned about the significance of the Eagle Feather. We contributed to a school-wide display. With our buddy class, we went outside to display ribbons along the fence. The ribbons signify our support for the indigenous people effected by residential schools. 









 

We went to the storm pond this week to check out signs of fall in lieu of the autumnal equinox. Ask me about my sit-spot and what I sketched. What were the signs of fall that I saw...

  We explored some nature kits to prepare for our Field Trip next Thursday. We observed castings of skulls, foot prints, scat, and feet.      In Phys. Ed we are doing gymnastics! We practiced travels, balances and partner balances.          We celebrated Cultural Diversity Day on Wednesday. We designed flags, and many students wore their cultural clothing.            This linked well to our Social Studies learning, about how Canada is so diverse now, but how did that come to be?! We are learned about Samuel De Champlain (the father of New France), John Cabot and Jaques Cartier. They claimed land for England and France. This started the European settlers... We are working on Historical Skits about this too!  In Math we are working on Area and Perimeter, and discovering how 2 shapes can share the same area but have different perimeters.  We also focused on finding the measurements of sides when given the ...
