March 28 - April 1

Hi Everyone,

Here is what we worked on this week:

Reading - We continued to work on Reading comprehension and understanding the stories that we read.

Writing - We worked on Climbing stories.  We specifically looked at different ways to begin our stories.  These are the 3 great beginnings we have practiced so far:

1. Amazing Action

2. Catchy Question

3. Sound Effect

Math - We continued to measure the length of objects using non-standard measurement.  We then started to compare the mass of different objects.

Science - We did a few experiments to learn more about water and compared it to other liquids.  Ask me what surface tension and viscosity mean.

Social Studies - We talked about what we already know about Calgary:  

- it is in the prairie region

- it has many buildings including: schools, restaurants, stores, hotels

- we have all different types of weather

- the mountains are close

- we have lakes, rivers, wetlands, creeks, ponds

- Calgary Flames
