FYI in Language Arts students are expected to re-write a familiar story and then change the end. Recall a story and state the main events in correct sequence. Relate a story to their own personal experiences. Much of the writing we've been working on covers these areas (plus conventions, flow, sequence, spelling, and work choice).
In Math we've been working on a problem a day. Today's problem used logical reasoning. We said that in the real world many professionals use logical reasoning each day ie. a doctor would ask you about your symptoms and then try to figure out a diagnosis for you. If you could help your child at home with basic facts to 10 it would be very much appreciated!
In Social Studies we are continuing to investigate Canadian communities. At this time the focus is landscapes and animals natural to that area.
In Science we are just beginning to learn about heat stroke and hypothermia. We will go more in depth with these terms tomorrow.
In Physical Education we began to run through the mission impossible course! It was pretty tricky for everyone!
In the agenda today was a note from the grade 5s about donating sheets and blankets to the SPCA. There was also a note from me regarding Valentines Day with every child's name listed on the note.
