One more week:)

Hang in there!  We are only one week away before spring break.  Take a deep breath and tell yourself we are almost there.

Thank you for another week of hard work and focus.  This week in room 231 we covered the following learning activities and concepts:

Math- dividing decimals by whole numbers, and decimals.  Today we had a class Sumdog competition to end our Fraction and Decimal units.

LA- we continued to work on our descriptive writing.  We learned how to show not tell and how to slow down our writing and into the action to quickly.  As a class we discussed using our senses, vivid verbs and colourful adjectives to make our writing more descriptive.  We also completed five lessons on using quotation marks. (Lesson 5 is due on Monday)

Socials- we continued our mini inquiry research project.  We collected research using different sources of information (world wide web, book, encyclopedia, online article).  Students will present their inquiry question and findings next week using I-Movie or Power Point.

Gym- we started some Gymnastics and we played Diveball.

Art- we completed our Zendoodles.

HCE- we talked about the importance of sleep and student have been asked to complete a sleep log for one week. (This will be due on Thursday)

See you all on Monday!

Hello Parents and Div 10 Students,

Last week we covered the following learning concepts:

Math: adding, subtracting, multiplying decimals, and decimal place value.  We also had a Fraction unit test.

Art: we started a doodle project and connected our texture monsters to our descriptive writing unit.

LA: we covered 4 lessons on when and how to use the apostrophe and we completed 2 descriptive writes.

Social Studies- we continued to explore what it was like to be part of the first ever civilization.  We discussed religion, stable food supply, art, government, inventions, irrigation, farming and much more.  We finished our Mesopotamia/Sumer unit and we started thinking about other ancient civilizations that we would look to research.

Gym: we did fit camp, dive ball and a variety of dodging games.

Thanks for another awesome week.
