  This Week: - in language arts we started looking biographies and autobiographies. We talked about how biographies and autobiographies are structured in sequence and time lines. We also looked at how portraits and self-portraits can be a form of biographies. We looked at a bunch of portraits and tried to use the information in the picture to sequence the artwork in a timeline. We also have chosen a biography book to read and reserach. Ask me who I chose! - in math we are learning about equations and algebra. - in science, are finishing up our study of earth's spheres. This week we focused on how the sphere's interact and work together.  - in social studies we learned about natural resources and how some of the new people exploring Canada came for the resources here.  Next Week: - library is Tuesday- please return any books that are at home - Thursday is Wear green and red day Finish up - natural resources Canada map
