Hello,
It was so nice to see all the students and we back in person at school this week. Students settled well back into routines and expectations.
This is what we are currently working on
Writing - We have finished our walking story unit and have moved on to instructional writing. This week we looked at a book called "How to Lose All Your Friends" and did some brainstorming about that topic. Students enjoyed this silly book and thinking about all of the different ways that you could lose your friends.
Math - we have been practicing two digit addition and subtraction with and without regrouping. This week we focused on using base ten blocks to help the students understand when they need to regroup and when they do not.
We also have been looking at reading and interpreting pictographs. Next week students will be conducting a survey, collecting the data and making a pictograph to display their data.
Science - We have started our new unit Hot and Cold. We did some comparing using the terms hotter than and colder than and got to test out some thermometers in different temperatures of water to see what happened.
Social Studies - We have started looking at our third community of study - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We focused on the geography this week. Next week, we will look at the early days of Saskatoon.
Character - Our focus for the next month or so will be on kindness.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Coulling
