Here are the highlights from the week:
In Science, we finished wetlands and have moved on to learning about Light and Shadow from Mrs. Gartner. We started off looking at what we know, wonder, and learned. So far we have learned that light can do 3 things: it can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed. We also learned that things can emit light.
For Language Arts we are working on a bunch of different writing and reading activities, such as word games, writing comics, raz kids, and word searches. The Green Literacy group has been working on Free Verse poems with the theme of "Remembrance." Some of the poems will be shared in our Remembrance Day Assembly Imovie. The Red and Blue groups have been working creating a descriptive writing piece on the topic of dangerous ways to get to school using a picture prompt.
All Math groups are exploring Number concepts, which involves addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Ask your child what they are working on at the moment!
For Social Studies, students are considering the personal, economic and environmental effects of natural resources - and recognizing that these effects can be positive or negative.
This week we had our Remembrance Day Assembly on Friday. It was a beautiful, reflective assembly and the students demonstrated great respect throughout. Prior to the assembly, our class read a book called, "The Enemy," where the main character shows us that hate comes from a lack of understanding and empathy towards other people.
