This morning we began our final social studies project after learning about the six natural regions of Alberta. The students worked together to develop criteria on which they will be evaluated. They will be creating either a brochure or a persuasive letter. See the criteria below:
Criteria for Brochure and Persuasive Letter Brochure
Persuasive Letter
In math students used a hundreds chart to colour a mystery picture of a snowman. They brought these home in their backpack. After listening to today's read aloud of the "Secret Garden" we learned that the robin and his mate have laid eggs, that Colin has become much stronger and healthier. A woman came into the garden, which surprised Dickon, Colin, Mary and Ben. We learned that Dickon had told his mother where the door to the secret garden was hidden. Colin also has uncovered a portriate in his room - it was a picture of his mother. He is no longer angry that she has passed away. He is still sad and misses her, but with each passing day he becomes well again. As part of our study about waste, students brought home a check list last week for the amount of waste their family produces each week. This is an estimation. Have a conversation and help your child fill in the chart detailing how many items are thrown into the trash each week using the categories on the checklist. This is due tomorrow so we can create a bar graph and write about our observations. Reminders: Dress WARM and in layers :) Your child may bring an electronic device if you would like for tomorrow's lunch recess - it's supposed to be very cold and they will not be going outside.
