 Hello Families and Friends of Room 16,

We have been learning about the land today.  We went outside for a walk. We connected to nature. We got to feel, smell, listen, see, but not taste everything around us.

We are learning all about fractions with Ms. Neal.  There can be a whole, half and a set. Fractions are a part of a whole. They can be in cards, recipes, animals and there can also be fractions in a calendar. There can be fractions in a clock. Fractions are everywhere.

We shared our Jamboards with our classmates.  We created Dream Boards about what we want to see and do in Alberta. We were giving feedback to our classmates, compliments on how they did, asking questions and making connections.

In Phys Ed we have been learning to play floor hockey. We have been learning skills, like how to hold a stick, play safe and spatial awareness.

Ms. Neal has been working with us to learn about Heart Health. We learned that with a healthy heart we will live longer. We learned that it is possible to have a broken heart. 

In writing we have been writing about ourselves so that Ms. Neal can learn more about us.

In Science we discussed our carbon footprint and how everything we use is part of that. We learned how to decrease our carbon footprint.

We are looking forward to what is coming in the next few weeks.  We are starting some new units and we are getting excited to share our learning with you.
