Hello!
Sorry about the last minute post, a busy weekend preparing for student conferences on Thursday.
In Language arts, we started our novel study on residential schools. Each student had chosen one or two books about the residential school experience. We are collecting information to discuss and share our thoughts about the residential school experience.
In math, we started fractions, and looked at what makes fractions equivalent. We worked on a couple of activities, dicovering that 1/2 is the same as 3/6 and 7/14. We have a quiz on Monday, ordering and writing reactions.
In science we finished off our powerpoints, they will be ready for viewing at the student led conferences. We also finished our human body cutouts, each showing a different human body system.
In social studies, we looked at different levels of government, and who is in charge of what. We created symbol maps to show which level of government is in charge of what, such as the federal being in charge of currency and military, the provincial government for education and healthcare, and municipal government for garbage, sewer, water, and libraries.
In French, we finished our Olympic Games board, with completing the Canadian Paralympics medal count.
Next week we will continue our novel study, getting more quotes from the books. We will look at comparing fractions with decimals, and ordering decimals. Dive deeper into our levels of government with a Venn diagram news paper sort, and have a quiz on Wednesday. Show off our powerpoints to the class, and try out peer reviewing and assessment.
Thursday is student led conferences! Come by between 1130 to 1230, and 430 to 630, to see what we have been learning about. Hopefully see you then!
