A VERY LATE NIGHT BUT ONE THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED!
The students wrote their "Patterns and Relations" unit test this week. We have started our second unit in Math, "Numbers". The students have been working on counting a large collection by grouping them into 10s or 100s. They have also been representing place value...ones, tens and hundreds.
We finished our novel study, "Freckle Juice". The class was very excited to take the book home with them this week to read with you. Please take some time over the weekend to read with them. We have asked the students to bring their books back on Monday so that we can return them to the library. If you need to borrow the book for an extra day or two, please let us know in their agendas.
In Science, we continued to talk about the difference between a rock and a mineral. We also discussed and reviewed the 8 properties to test minerals... colour/streak, hardness, odor, lustre, smell, magnetism, shape, light, and feel
In Social, the students came up with many questions that they would like answered before we pack and board our plane to India. We compiled their questions and the class spent an afternoon researching answers on their Chrome books.
Here are a few of the questions our students had...
What languages do they use?
What kind of food do they eat?
What clothes do they wear?
What kinds of animals do they have as pets?
What kind of money (currency) do they use?
Where can we stay? Hotel?
How long does it take to fly there?
What are their schools like?
What sports do they play?
How warm does it get?
Do they have electronics?
How many religions are there?
The students will be more than prepared for their trip!
Thank you, Benjamin, for researching the Taj Mahal and presenting this to the class.
This week, all of the classes are decorating the hallways for next week's Halloween Celebration! Our class worked on a project called, Scream Blow Painting. We read the book, "Monster Mama" and then the students began working on their screaming self portrait.
After reading the book, "Dream Weaver", we made spooky spider webs which are dangling from the hallway ceiling.

At Friday's assembly, we sang "Things We Are Thankful For", with our buddy class 1K. This song reflects the Monthly Character Trait we selected...Gratitude!
