Hello,
It is hard to believe that it is already December and we only have two more weeks of school before the break. Students were so excited to see snow this morning and get to play outside in it today at recess.
This week in Science we continued our look at magnets with lots of hands on activities. We compared magnet strengths, discovered that magnets have polarity (likes repel and opposites attract) and we demonstrated that most materials are transparent to the effects of a magnet.
In Social Studies we continued with our look at Iqaluit. We learned about what it was like in the Early Days in Iqaluit and some of their traditions.
In math we looked about 3D objects. Students are making a google slide show showcasing their understanding of 2D shapes and 3D objects. We will continue to work on this next week.
In writing we read the book "The Mix-Up Chameleon" by Eric Carle. Students are creating their own mixed up animals but combining traits of different animals and reinforcing using similes. Such as my animal is as wise an owl.
Students are continuing to do daily literacy centres. We are working on making connections to what we read and making inferences.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Coulling
