Hello Fabulous Families,

In the last 2 weeks we have tried to do a lot, so let us update you on what has happened and what will happen next week.

In reading we continue to read with our teacher, read with a buddy (safely and at a bit of a distance). We choose books that are at a level that we are great at reading.  We have access to a lot of books online over the break coming up.  Ask me how.

In writing we continue to write about Ivan the Shopping Mall Gorilla and we get to free write about anything we want but appropriate for school.  Some of us have written letters to Santa, written about our weekends, what we want for Christmas,  We have written about how we feel about things using our own opinions.

In mathematics we have started to learn all about word problems.  We are learning the steps to solve word problems and some of our problems are more than 2 steps to solve. We continue to practice basic facts to learn to multiply and divide bigger numbers.  

In science we have been learning about toxic waste, e-waste and other types of waste.  We found out that we have a lot of e-waste in our houses. We get to learn all about our carbon footprint next week.

In social studies we have learned about confederation and Canada becoming a country.  We have learned about the railway and how it was built to expand to the west.  We are learning all about Alberta now and we get to become "Travel Agents" to write brochures to tell how great our wonderful province is.

In Phys. Ed we are doing dance and yoga, and we also got to play some games of basketball.  We also get to continue playing a variety of tag games.  Dance and yoga will continue next week.

We have school 5 days next week.  Yes, we are in school on Friday, December 18, and it will be a half day.  After that we are on a 2 week winter break.  Online School is starting on Monday, January 4, 2021.

We will do one more blog entry next week! Stay tuned.
