New math groups started this week. All groups are looking at place value concepts in a variety of tasks. Grade 4 students need to be able to represent 4-digit numbers and Grade 5 students work on representing 5-digit numbers.
In Science, we began looking at adaptations on wetland animals. Students began researching a wetland animal and are sketching and writing their physical and behavoural adaptations.
Mapping continued in Social Studies. Some students are completing homework this weekend - either their own creative map or a map of Canada. The instructions for the Canada map are below.
We have shared a few texts this week - the favourite by far was "Into the Woods." Ask your child to describe that book and how we were able to make Text-to-Text Connections. Students also completed a picture prompt writing activity - either with an outer space theme or an underwater theme.
Upcoming:
- Please return your child's school and field trip paperwork if you haven't done so already
- No school tomorrow (Friday Sept 20)
- Field trip next Thursday (Sept 26)
- Terry Fox Run Friday Sept 27
