In Social Studies the students have been investigating land forms. Over the past couple of days they have enjoyed making dioramas that display some of the land forms they have learned about. Over the next few weeks, they will be using that knowledge to learn about how people live in three areas of Ontario: Canadian Shield, Great Lake Lowlands, and the Hudson bay area. They will also be looking at what types of jobs are available in these areas and how a community survives. Please visit my useful links page to help your child learn more about this topic. A final assignment will be sent home where they will have to create a community in one of the three areas.
Science the students are learning about Forces and Friction. They have enjoyed doing a variety of activities that teach about the different forces ( magnetic, muscle, wind etc.) . A project will be sent home for the students to create a toy using one of these forces.
Math - we continue to work on addition and subtraction of two digit numbers using different strategies (splitting or jumping). A note was sent home reviewing these concepts. Please continue to have your child practice these skills.
Language - Creative writing continues to be the focus. We are starting to learn how to show when writing vs telling by expanding your thoughts and comparing. We will be learning this skill through videos and assignments.
