January 16th-20th

Hello everyone,

I hope that you all had a wonderful week and and enjoyed the extra day with each other this weekend despite the rain and the fog.

Looking forward to this week's forecast I think we are safe from any ice or snow days.

This past week we focused on compound words in spelling and will be having our spelling test on Tuesday instead of Monday.







In math, we compared and contrasted various two-dimensional shapes, looking at the size of angles, number of vertices, sides and sets of parallel lines.  We also began our study of three-dimensional shapes.













With Ms. Powell we worked on figuring out how long we had been in school.







In health, we are continuing to focus on where various foods come from and how that impacts the environment.

In social studies, we reviewed our timeline into the past and analyzed maps and images of 19th century communities in Canada.  We have also started to research various First Nations communities.




In art and language we completed our "Thankfulness" cards and reflected on the choices made when developing the cover art work.  We also began to rehearse our readers' theatre plays and plan our advertising posters to recruit an audience.




We also had our second visit to the Innovation Studio to work on building the EV3, J-Bot computers.  We have a week long break before we will be back in to attempt some programming with them.



We are hoping to finish "The BFG" this week.  We only have four chapters to go!  We will then be watching the movie(s) to compare and contrast the various versions of the story.

Have a great week!
Ms. Sparling
