The students have continued to work on Daily 5 in order to improve
their reading and writing skills. We
have also been working on Sadako. The
students researched and presented a topic of their choice.
Sciences
humaines:
During Social Studies, the students been preparing for the next
unit, which will look at the relations between the Aboriginals and the
Europeans upon their arrival to North America. They are now researching a famous explorer.
Sciences de la
nature:
During Science, we have been looking at food labels and how to
choose healthy food. We have also looked
at the 4 food groups and discussed what a portion is.
Français:
In French, the students have been studying the verbs in present
tense. They finished writing their
Aboriginal story. They have also been writing their speeches. We have discussed how to write an
introduction as well as the body paragraphs.
Math:
We did a review of basic multiplication with the help of games to
prepare them for long multiplication. We
have also been looking at different strategies for long multiplication, for
example:
62x9 = (9x60) = (9x2) = 558
Thanks to all our patrols for working hard even in the cold winter
weather!!
Another big thanks to all the parents who came with us to the
Christmas Cheer Board. This was a worthwhile excursion and the students really
felt good about their hard work after we were done!
