HIGHLIGHTS

This week we continued working on writing about important events in our life. We took some time to start creating the visual representations of our life maps too! To help build and share our vocabulary, we worked in groups to brainstorm synonyms and figurative phrases to express common words such as cold, hot, said, walk 

 

 

Ask me what happened at the aquarium in Out of My Mind. 

While exploring decimals, we used hundredths grids and thousandths grids to represent numbers. This helps visually compare numbers too, like...


Ask me what the standard number for this representation would be....

We also learned a new math game called "Decimal Pickle"! 
 

We wrapped up Social Studies mapping with a Show What You Know. These will be sent home soon. 
We started our Weather Unit in Science. We pulled out knowledge on weather, climate and examples of severe weather. We learned the difference between climate and weather, and we started tracking weather and sunrise, sunsets. this should give us some interesting data in about a month! 
Ask me about the Tim Burton inspired art we started today! 








Ask me who Chanie Wenjack is...


Ask me how to play "Newton Ball"

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?!
