Hello!
Seeing a lot more work on our family heritage projects this week. The booklet is due next week, so let’s get those last few pages completed. I will be sending emails home on Wednesday if the booklet hasn’t been handed in yet.
In Language Arts, we learned about haiku poems, the use of syllables to limit our word choice. Once we made a couple of haikus, we tried our hand at origami animals. A slow start, but they started getting it by Friday afternoon.
In math, we finished our volume and capacity unit learning about how to calculate volume by multiplying the dimensions of length, width and height. We also worked with estimating capacities and converting ml to L.
In social studies, we worked on our timeline posts with most of the students completing their first timeline post. Using the chrome books, we have been researching different aspects of Canada and Canadian identity. With one timeline post completed, we have two more to go.
In science, we learned about the respiratory system discussing how and why we breath. We learned that the diaphragm controls our breathing, and how the alveoli transfers oxygen for carbon dioxide.
In French, we finished learning about Le Carnaval de Quebec by completing a brochure to showcase the events.
We also started looking at French sports, following along with the Winter Olympics and Canadians involvement.
Next week, we will be looking at a couple more types of poems in language arts, look into money and buying and selling in math, the circulatory system in science, more Canadian history in social studies, and continue our Olympic coverage in French.
Saturday in our bottle drive, so hopefully see you tomorrow! And keep working on your heritage booklets.
Have a good weekend!
