Hi Everyone,
Here is what we did this week:
Reading - We have worked on answering questions and making predictions about stories read in class. We continue to practice reading out loud in a group.
Writing - We are continuing to work on our climbing stories. We have reviewed great beginnings, how to introduce the main event/problem with details and our 5 senses, and are now planning the rest of our story with 2 solutions that do not work, and then a solution that works.
Math - We have done some measurement activities and practiced our double digit subtraction with borrowing. We have also worked on our mental math skills. We were able to teach our Kindergarten buddies two games to play with our power of ten cards.
Science - We have started our last science unit this year. It is on Buoyancy and Boats. We tested different objects to see if they would sink or float. We talked about buoyancy, submerged and partially submerged.
Social Studies - We are in the middle of our research on one topic pertaining to Calgary or the Blackfoot culture. We are creating a poster to put up in our classroom showing our learning.
Have a great weekend!
