April 4 - 8

Hi Everyone!

Here is what we did this week:

Reading - We practiced our spelling words  using bubble letters and playing a game called secret square.  We read out loud during reading groups and answered questions about stories that we read.

Writing - We practiced how to create great beginnings to our stories.  We know there are different ways to begin a story to grab the readers attention.  We also know that a beginning introduces the characters and the setting of the story.

Math - We continued practicing our double digit addition and subtraction skills.  We also worked on our single digit addition and subtraction mental math.  We measured and we also did some calendar word problems.

Science - We did an experiment on how to change steam (water vapour) back into a liquid.  We also predicted which container of water would have the most water left by the end of next week.  One container has a lid on and the other has no lid.

Social Studies - We researched some questions about Calgary.  We looked at when Calgary became a city, why is it called Calgary, and more!
