 Happy Halloween

Classroom Update

This week we spent time doing some Halloween math and art.  We jumped back into our science Earth Systems unit and started writing "spooky" stories.

Next week we will be talking about Remembrance Day.  Students will be given a poppy on Thursday.  There will be a donation container in the office if they would like to donate to the poppy fund.

 Classroom Update

Math - In math this week, we worked on solidifying our understanding of multi-digit addition and subtraction and continued working with money.  

Home Practise:  It would be great to review addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers.  For example 843 + 497 or 93 - 27.  A few questions after school to solidify understanding will support the students when we start using larger numbers.

Language Arts - We started writing our stories this week based on a cave picture that students picked.  Students created story beginnings that "hook" the reader.  

Science - We continued to look at events that have the potential to change the landscape quickly like landslides, blizzards and floods.  Students watched short videos and took notes about 3 natural events that cause quick and lasting changes to Earth's surface.

Social Studies - Students used Google Earth to answer questions about Alberta.
