Hello Everyone!
This week, we were fortunate to have had a beautiful day to visit the coulee. We were joined by two parent volunteer geologists who taught us how rocks are formed, mined, and classified. Today, we also enjoyed a lovely presentation by the Grade 1/2's about The Wild Robot.
In Math, students are exploring fractions by representing sets and parts of a whole. We explored all of the ways where fractions can be found and used in our everyday lives. In the coulee, we found natural elements which can be expressed by using fractions.
In Literacy, students have been working on persuasive pieces, as well as perspective writing, by writing from the perspective of a rock. We have been learning about personification and using sensory language to make our writing shine. We also continue to work on our Alberta Animal research and final projects to be shared in a presentation.
Ms. Tait visited our whole group today to share her story of the prairie crocus. We created watercolour crocus art based on the story and our run-ins with the crocus during our recent coulee walk. It is exciting to finally be seeing sure signs of spring!
Notes for next week:
- 3/4 Huebner/Stacey are going on their field trip to the Leighton Arts Centre on Monday. A reminder to please dress for the weather!
- Our book club literacy groups are coming to an end on Tuesday. We will continue with in-class literacy programming in the weeks to come!
Have a lovely weekend!
