Language Arts:
We have been exploring descriptive language and similes to help make our writing interesting. The students have started to brain storm using their five senses how to describe a season without using the name of the season to help create their 'What Season am I?".
New Words Of The Week
Math:
We have continued to explore place value and base ten blocks by building numbers and recognizing the value of each digit. We have started to explore 3D shapes and are learning how to describe them using the number of edges, vertices, and faces on each object.
Social Studies:
We have been learning a lot about Saskatchewan's farming communities and their way of life. As well we have started to talk about Nunavut and how we can help bring them Christmas Cheer this holiday season by sending donations. Please let me know if you can donate a large prepaid shipping box to help get our special gifts all the way to the north.
Science:
We have been using our scientist brains to learning about liquids. Ask your child out our drop race and mixing solids with water.
