Classroom Update
Math - We started reading and interpreting graphs this week. We also continued to focus was on learning how to approach and complete a multi-step problem and worked on figuring out numbers when we have to equalize two sides of a balance.
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 "sub". In writing we finished our stories or character paragraphs that we are excited to share at parent / teacher conferences.
Science - We continued with the Energy unit in science this week. We focused on simple machines. We started researching levers, wheel and axles, wedges, incline planes, screws, and pulleys and recognizing where we see them and use them in our daily life. We are also going to be building leprechaun traps on Monday so it is important that all students remember their recycled materials.
Social Studies - We continued to look at Alberta's resources. Alberta is a very special place that has an abundance of natural resources like oil, natural gas, sun, wind, forests.
*During Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, March 19 and Friday, March 20, we invite families to place a colourful push pin on our world map located in our Learning Commons to show where their family comes from. Together, we’ll create a vibrant picture celebrating the diverse backgrounds that make up our school community!*
