There are only a few short weeks until winter break! Yet, we continue to work very hard in Room 145.... there is so much learning to be done.
This morning student had to take all the information they have compiled about the six regions and begin creating a chart that listed all the pros and cons of living in each region. Tomorrow students will determine which region has the most pros and begin a project that will convince people to live within the region of their choice. They will either create a persuasive letter or a travel brochure. In mathematics we continue to practice recall of basic facts. Ensuring they were following the process of carrying when adding and regrouping when subtracting. Students also had the opportunity to work on the extension activity of looking at the populations of various places within the province and using that data to find sums and differences. If that was complete they were able to play one of the many math games we have learned. In the gym we burned off a lot of energy practicing our dodging, throwing and catching skills with a game of dodgeball. Guided reading was very successful today with all students working on different things at one time, but all on task. Tomorrow is the last day for students to finish their regions map, haiku poem, comic/graphic novel story. If not completed by tomorrow, this will be homework that will be due on Monday. Lastly, we are almost finished our pointillism artwork. The artist, Jim Pescott, that inspired our landscape project even had a piece of artwork at Fish Creek Park. Ask your child if they saw it and you can check out Jim's work at http://www.jimpescott.com/. Reminders:
