Hello!
We had a busy one this week. Our Red Dress walk went well some students even made the news. It was a good learning experience for those who joined.
In math we had two quizzes! Seems like a lot, but they did well with them. The first was on turning fractions into decimals and decimals into fractions. Then we learned about decimal place value. Most seem to have gotten a good grasp of the concepts.
In language arts we finished off our animal haiku riddles. We then learned about cinquian poems, using more rules per line. We added both poems to our display board, which I will post a picture when we are done.
We have also been working on a novel study this week. Students got to choose between either Island, Everest, or Dive as their novel. Most of the students have finished, with some needing time to finish Monday. We will then have a small book club on each story.
In social studies we worked on our country heritage booklets. Most students have finished their research, though many need to work on less copy and paste.
In French we learned about different preferences, such as adore, aime, n’aime pa’s, amd deteste. We started our outline for a French All About Me project which we will complete next week.
For art, we have been working on nail and string art. Students chose their theme and went at it. There were some nice ones in the end.
Next week we will learn about adding and subtracting decimals, start book 2 of our novel study, research our heritage country and make a timeline, learn about couplets amd limerick poetry, and review more of the rock cycle. Going to be another busy week, especially with no Monday.
Have a good weekend, amd see toy Tuesdays
