Hello room 4,
I hope that everyone had a warm weekend! We are looking forward to a warmer week, this week.
A gentle reminder that if you are coming in late in the morning, dropping off your child in the school or looking to ask a question or chat in the morning or afternoon to please check in at the office first. Due to security protocols it is essential that you check in at the office prior to coming down to classrooms. It is also creating some chaos during ignite mornings when teachers are trying to count students entering the room and parents are standing at the door. We are ALWAYS more than willing to discuss any questions or meet with you before or after school, however, this needs to be done through the office.
Thank you for your understanding.
What to expect for the week:
Math- We will be looking at developing connections between repeated addition and skip counting. We will begin exploring a real life application for these skills by making connections to coins and counting money. We are building these skills to prepare for a special wrap up to our addition focus, a class store. After our store we will continue to explore addition strategies and make connections between addition and subtraction.
ELA- We are currently writing our own legends to go along with some beautiful art we have created in the style of Ted Harrison focused on painting arctic landscapes to tie to the introduction of our Inuit unit in social studies. Our buddies will support us in editing/refining our stories as well as with recording our stories to create audio recordings which we will link to our paintings through a QR code. We are hoping to have this art displayed at an area office art gallery.
Spelling test tomorrow and new lists today.
Guided reading groups have started.
Social Studies- We will begin creating our arctic landscape for our window to Iqaluit which will take the place of our previous window to Saskatoon. This week we will learn more about arctic landscapes, climate and landforms as well as, some interesting features of the Inuit culture/community.
Science- We will begin a number of experiments to enhance our understanding of hot and cold temperatures. We will also be taking a very exciting in school trip to our schools boiler room to see how our schools temperature is maintained.
Art- Take a look at the starts of our beautiful Arctic art from last week. We will continue to perfect this art, this week. We will also be working on our Window into Iqaluit
Health- We are going to be focusing on self regulation skills and continuing with mindfulness.
