We began our morning Eye Opener by making words. The big words were "floor hockey" as we finished our unit in the gym today. Miss Nanavaty has not told us what our next unit will be, so it is a big mystery.
We worked with a partner to do some investigation. We are creating a timeline of Alberta looking at all the important people that made Alberta the province it is today. Tomorrow we will continue learning about who helped forge the West! Ask me about someone I learned about today and comment in the blog. In math we played a division math game where we partnered up and chose a two digit dividend, rolled a dice and then divided the counters into equal groups. Sometimes there were remainders and students are beginning to make the connection to decimals. Students have also finished their writing for our "Steps for My Legacy Project" which they will bring home tomorrow for you to see. After some research and conferencing with the teacher some of us have had to make changes to our plans, while others began the next steps in their plan. For read aloud today, students did a CSI. They had to choose a colour that the book represented, a symbol that was important and a picture or an image that came to mind while listening to the chapter read aloud. We have also been working really hard with Miss Lysak in music as we learn a special song for our Celebration of Learning! A big shout out to her for all the hard work she is putting in to help us prepare :) Lastly, in science we moved all of our writing for our project into Google Docs and have shared it with the teacher so she can help us edit before printing! We can access google docs from home. You child only needs to know their google email address and password and they can share all the awesome work they've been doing!

Good job Sophia! Apparently in 1783, Peter Pond's explorations led him to the Athabasca, a region stretching from Lac Île-à-la-Crosse to the Peace River. From his notes and diaries Peter Pond drew a map showing rivers and lakes of the Athabasca region, including what was known of the whole area from Hudson Bay to the Rocky Mountains.
