We had a nice, calm Friday. They started off by completing their basic facts quiz and spelling test, we then painted poppies. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
We started off our morning by completing multiplication facts (double to dingle digit). They are really getting the hang of it! We learned about fossils in Alberta! They answered these questions in their science books: 1.) Why are fossils found in Alberta? 2.) Where are most of the fossils found in Alberta? 3.) What is the name of Alberta's famous fossil museum? Alberta is famous for dinosaur bones! This is a great conversation to have at home with your kids. A day trip to Tyrell Museum would be awesome too. Have a great weekend!
To start off our morning we used a writing prompt from the board "In your journal, tell me about the time you lost your first tooth." This is always fun to read and writing about, because we all seem to remember that big day! Ask your child if they could remember their story from beginning, middle to end. In Math we worked on double digit addition and subtraction with borrowing and carrying. Subtraction with borrowing is quite tricky - ask them to show you their strategy at home. In the afternoon we created 2 goals: a math goal and a literacy goal. For each we came up with 2 strategies to get to that goal. Afterwards, we added these to IRIS. These will be shared with you during online parent-teacher interviews. To end the day we went on typing.com and practiced our typing skills. See you tomorrow! How is it Friday already?!
We have been busy using our mathematical thinking to create robots and cities! You will see these during Math night next week! Yesterday we started off the day in pairs. They read examples of students being kind and unkind. They then acted these examples out to their peers and talked about why they were one or the other. In Science they learned about adaptation today. Ask your child what that word means. In groups they researched facts on India and made fact posters together. We talked about what type of group member they would like to be. We will have the spelling test tomorrow. Please study! Scholastic book orders will be due by next Friday. Please continue to send permission forms in for 'Teacher's Pet.' No school for students on Friday.
