Today in Math, students worked on creating their own word problems using multiplication. They had to be able to write their problems in full sentences, give enough information to solve, ask a clear question and create an answer key.
Over the last few weeks, we've been learning word families and spelling patterns through easy alphabet letter games. Be prepared to learn some of our games at Student-Led Conferences at the end of the month! This month in Phys. Ed we will be focusing on net and wall games, as the volleyball and badminton nets will be set up. We will learn skills for games like badminton and volleyball using more developmentally appropriate materials, and simple games that are fun for kids. In art this week, we will continue to focus on drawing realistic facial features, and using feedback to improve our drawing. Hopefully by Friday we have had enough practice to draw a full self-portrait using what we've learned about realism! Today in Social Studies, students wrote a fact-based paragraph to answer our big question: What challenges did early settlers face when immigrating to Alberta? How have they impacted our province? Tomorrow students will be self-assessing their work and have time to conference with me to improve their writing. Today I sent home field trip forms for our upcoming trip to Calgary Humane Society. There is no cost associated with the trip. Forms are due back by Friday March 8. March is nutrition month! All month we will be "Eating the Rainbow." Students are encouraged to pack fruits and vegetables every day in their lunch. Its a great opportunity to get kids talking about healthy food- and even taking responsibility for prepping their own lunches! :) Mrs. Rowein
