October Newsletter


October Newsletter 5-22




Français:
Students presented the play “La rentree” about the first day of school.  They have also been put into guided reading groups to work on their reading and will be responding to questions to work on their writing.

Mathématiques
We have been working on large numbers and rounding off as well as writing and saying the large numbers orally.  We have also been working on math problems and demonstrating how one question can be solved in multiple ways.

In ELA, we began guided reading.  They will give their reactions to text and answer questions in groups.  We have also been working on our Bio Poem. 

Science
In science, we have completed a number of experiments about air and the students created their own experiment to demonstrate one of the characteristics they had learned.

Social Studies
We have finished studying the capitals and provinces as well as the geographical stories.  We have also read different texts about the Aboriginal culture and answered questions.

Merci to Jacob for the following contribution:

This October in French we were doing Daily 5.  There is read to self, read to someone, work on writing, word work, and listening centre.  In Mathé, we had a quiz.  We also did Daily 5 in English.  In Sc. Hum, Sc. Nat, and Art, we made sleds.  It was supposed to be a faster form of transportation when crossing the ice to represent the Bering Strait Theory.
That is what we did this month!
