It's a short week with our non-instructional day happening this Friday. Here are the events and reminders for the week.
Math: With Mrs. Brown, student wrote a place value quiz last week. Ask your child to show you their quiz. This week we will continue to work on ordering and comparing large numbers.
With Mr. Lurie, students continue to learn about measurement. Students did excellent work with perimeter and will work begin solving area problems. Afterwards, they will make a poster to show their learning.
Writing: This week we will revise our persuasive paragraphs and work to type out our final drafts.
Reading: Students will use their abilities to look for clues in non-fiction reading passages to answer questions specific to the text.
Socials Studies: The class is wrapping up its study of "pre-contact" and will begin lessons on the Early European Explorers.
Science: Last week, students looked at bats and echolocation; this week they will look at the five senses humans use. (How living things sense and respond to their environment.)
Art: We did not have time last week to add colour to our Model Magic creations. We will add colour and complete these projects by Thursday. We will also be completing a sewing project on Thursday where students will have the opportunity to sew spiders, pumpkins or ghosts.
