Highlights January 10-14!

We had a wonderful week back together! 

In math, we worked on decomposing numbers as our beginning to our addition and subtraction unit. We also practiced measuring our feet using non-standard measurements! 










In social studies, we journaled about Iqaluit and looked at an artifact from the past! Have your student tell you about what it is and what it was used for! 




In art, we created depictions of the northern lights you can see in Iqaluit as well as an Inuksuk that means 'joy'! 


In french, we journaled about our vacation, and practice our new sounds 'in' 'im' 'ein' 'aim' 'yn'. Have your student tell you the sound with the action! 


Looking ahead...

 This week in art, we completed our beautiful pieces on leaf patterns!  In math, we look at number and practiced counting in various ways to 50. We also played a fun sorting and ordering game with our leaves looking at how we can sort them from smallest to biggest, by shape, and colour!  In science, we talked about ants and practiced labeling the parts of the insect!  This week in french, we wrote about what we are thankful for and used our patterning skills to create a beautiful journal entry.  In social studies,  we talked about rural communities and added to our mural to contrast urban vs. rural!  Looking ahead.... October 13th is picture day! Bring your best smiles!  Next Friday, October 15th, we are excited to go on a trip to the coulee! Be sure to dress warm that day and be ready for a great day in nature.

Students have started an art project of a maritime scene that they are excited to share!  In FLA, students have been working on writing using picture prompts, and sharing their writing with others.
