Hello!
It was good to see a couple of parents come out to the student led conferences on Thursday. Seemed like there was a lot of excitement and anticipation to show off what we have been learning about.
In Language arts, we continued with our novel study about residential schools.
In math, we had a quiz on equivilent fractions, and learned how we need to match the denominator to be able to compare fractions properly. We also looked at changing fractions into decimals.
In science, we shared our PowerPoint presentations on the human body. The presentations were well done, and we learned a lot about why our human body does the things it does. I had the students also start a peer review on each presentation, assessing and giving suggestions on how the presenters could improve for next time.
In social studies, we went through the newspapers to find interesting headlines, cut them out, and had to place them into a giant Venn diagram of Federal, Provincial, and Municipal categories.
We also had a levels of government quiz, which most students did well at.
Next weeks is Ruth King reading week, so we will be doing a lot of activities to promote reading and writing, as well as listen to some guest authors come in and tell us their story. In Language arts, we will be writing a letter about our experiences at Ruth King, andyour thoughts on next year. In math, we will continue looking at decimals and how to order them. In social studies, we will look at different types of government by participating in a Lost Island choose your own adventure activity. In science we will look at coding, what is its purpose, what does it involve, and explore code.org.
Its going to be a busy week!
