Classroom Update
Math - We continued to work on finding the perimeter of objects. This week we even learned how to find missing side measurements as well as perimeter. We also finished up measuring items using metric measurements like cm and mm and imperial measurements like inches and feet.
Home Practise: Students can work on multiplication and division facts to increase speed and accuracy. They are encouraged to quickly review some that they already know and spend more time with facts they find more challenging.
Language Arts - During word work this week, we focused on words with the prefix "re". In words like replay and reread, the "re" prefix changes the meaning of the root word. We finished reading Ollie's Odyssey and the students finished writing their own "odyssey".
Science and Social Studies - We finished our robotics project this week. We focused on programming the robot to travel on a map of Alberta (a map taped on the floor in the hallway). On days we didn't have the robots, we focused on the many Indigenous nations that live in Alberta and discussed the various languages that exist in Alberta and in our classroom.
