We have jumped right back in to the school routine this January! Around the school we are loving the winter weather, trying to stay warm outside, and enjoying the different topics we explore in class.
UPDATES:
Students have just wrapped up the measurement unit in class today by finishing their Time Quizzes. We will be moving into our final first term unit - Multiplication and Division. Students can be supported at home by practising these operations in real world contexts like "If we are going to build a snow man and it takes 3 big snow balls to make one, how many snow balls would it take to make 7 snowmen?" Or it could be job related like "I get $5 for every drive that I shovel. How many driveways do I need to shovel to make atlas $40?"
In Language students have been working on writing their thoughts and opinions in paragraph form, and including all necessary parts of the paragraph. They have also been trying to convince their audience in their persuasive writing pieces! Some interesting topics include: "We should use a bake sale to raise money for cancer." "We should improve the music program at school." "We should have outdoor schooling."
Look back for more updates to come on what's happening in 2016!
