Hello!
It’s starting to get colder, make sure to bring appropriate winter clothing.
In language arts this week we started a creative writing project, where we will be coming up with crazy and bizarre reasons why we have specific rules. Like brush your teeth or they may come out and bite people, or comb your hair or it will take over your body.
In math we started our division unit, learning three different strategies. We looked at the relationship with multiplication, how to use an array, and repeated subtraction.
In social studies we learned about thenpros and cons of mining. We practiced mining chocolate chip cookies, and made a project about our learning.
In science we worked hard on building Rube Goldberg machines. Most were complete by the end of the week, but about half not filmed, so next week there will be a video.
On Thursday we had guests from John Stubbs give a presentation on late French immersion as an option for grade 6. Talk it over, as there will be an info session next week.
Next week we will look at larger division strategies, write more secret rules stories, learn about forestry and aquaculture, and start our human body unit for science.
Have a good weekend and see you next week.
