 This Week:

- in language arts we started our new novel Number the Stars. We also looked at some vowel spellings in our word work. We've started talking about patterns and pattern rules in math and we started to see how we could also use pattern rules when spelling. We also started using non-fiction text features in our reading.

- in math we started to look at patterns and pattern rules in both arithmetic and geometric sequences. We learned about the Fibonacci sequence and how the numbers have special relationships to one another. We also talked about how pattern rules can become a specific set of instructions called algorithms. We learned about algorithms and how they are used in Rubik's cube to help solve problems and the cube. 

- in science and social studies we started to go a little deeper into the geosphere and the landforms that Canada has. We also used our knowledge of what algorithms are to help us code some instructions to defeat a game in computer science.

- for Remembrance Day we read about poppies and their significance and then made some poppy art in our visual journals




Next Week:

- no school Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday Nov. 10-12

- library on Thursday, please bring any delinquent books from home

We also reviewed addition and subtraction of larger numbers. Ask me if I have finish up! - in science we talked about the scientific method as a way to know things. We read the real life account of Ben Franklin and how he used the scientific method to discredit Dr. Mesmer. We then used the scientific method to find out how absorbent polyacrylate is. We made a hypothesis and diagrammed and tallied our observations. Ask me how many drops of water it took! - in social studies we continued our look at maps and how we know where we are. We read about how Australian aboriginals use dots paintings and art as maps and to tell stories that were important to them. We then made our own dot maps of places that were important to us.  Next Week: - library on Thursday - Orange Shirt Day on Friday Sept. 26 Upcoming...

  Welcome Back to School! We are all so excited to be back at school! We have had a super week and a half so far and look forward to a great year ahead of us.  Some notes for this year: We will have library every Thursday as our schedule allows. Please make sure library books are kept in a safe place and returned when you are finished with them. Please do not bring toys or devices to school unless absolutely necessary. We would not like anything to get lost or stolen and they can sometimes be a distraction to our learning.  We don't send a lot of homework home, but if students do not finish something, it will be sent home with them at the end of the week to be completed at home. Check the blog for any notifications of finish up work. Students are asked to be reading 20 minutes a night and practice their basic math facts as much as possible.  This Week: - we had a great week coming back and getting to know each other! We are learning each other's names and have t...
