Well, it is hard to believe that January 2022 has come and gone so quickly! Students continue to work hard in class and I am proud of their overall efforts throughout this month.
In Mathematics, we continue to work on understanding how multiplication works just like repeated addition and what the order of the numbers in a multiplication sentence signify. We have also been exploring data charts and what the information can tell us about a certain topic. Students are working on understanding the language and what we must do in order to answer the questions correctly.
In Writing, we continue to explore using transition words and being able to complete an event story with a defined beginning, middle and ending to it. The students have talked about getting dressed to go outside on a cold day, how to make French toast and riding a rollercoaster from a book we read. Students continue to work on adding more details to their sentences in order for their reader to feel like they were at the event the writer is talking about.
In Science, we are starting to explore Hearing and Sound and look at the various aspects of the human ear that allow us to take sound waves and process them in our brains to make sense of what the message is telling us. We are doing this in anticipation of our field trip to Telus Spark next Wednesday, February 2nd where we will be learning more about hearing and sound in a hands-on classroom setting.
In Social Studies, we continue to explore services and we talked about how we would cope if an essential service (electricity) was not accessible to us for a period of time. Students had to write their feelings and also the realities of what this would mean to them at home without electricity which is such a given in our city 24 / 7.
A reminder there is no school on Monday, January 31st and that we will be at theTelus Spark Centre on Wednesday, February 2nd all day. Please remember for our field trip that all of the students are expected to be in their formal uniforms and have a lunch bag / box to bring with them on the trip. I hope you enjoy the rest of your long weekend and see everyone on Tuesday morning!
