December 2 - 6

Writing: 

Students have continued their exploration of book genres - looking specifically at Fairytales, the elements of Fairytales, and the overall recipe for them! Ask your student what are some key features of the genre of Fairytales :) 

Room 24 did a compare and contrast of Cinderella, Cindy-Ellen and Ponyella in order to identify the similarities and differences between the classic and the twisted stories! 

 

Math: 

Students worked hard to identify the rules of place value for numbers up to 1000 - and beyond for an extra challenge! They furthered their number sense by writing the numbers in standard form, word form, expanded form and by using base 10 model. 

Ask your student to show you these four representations with a 4-digit number!!

We practiced creating Arrays for our multiplication strategy! Students played a card game to create a variety of arrays - whoever filled up the sheet first, won! It was an exciting way to practice the repeated addition/multiplying skill. 

Field Trip: We had so much fun at the Alberta Theatre Project Field Trip on Thursday! The students were very impressed with the lighting, props, costumes and cast - it was truly an amazing experience! Thank you, Lia & Family for sending this amazing book for us to read before we went to the play!

Thanks again to our parent volunteers :)

Report Cards
