Our Learning:
We were so excited to show you our learning during our assembly today! We could not be more proud of all our hard work in getting prepared and being able to present to the entire school.
Literacy:
- We are completing another round of our targeted literacy groups next week. Ask your child the skills that they have been learning and books they are reading in these groups.
- After using our 5 senses to improve our writing, we are moving on to other literary devices to add make our writing more interesting.
Math:
- The grade 2s learned more strategies to add 2 - digit numbers (ex. using an open number line, adding by rearranging, adding and then compensating)
- We also used addition and subtraction to engage in problems solving tasks.
- In grade 1, we strengthened our understanding of addition and subtraction by practicing problem solving questions
- We came up with a strategy (CUBS) to help us break down a problem solving question and practice writing number sentences.
Inquiry:
- We had an exciting day on Monday watching the NASA live stream and learning all about the solar eclipse and learning.
- We also attended on online Calgary Public Library presentation as a part of their Caretakers of the Land series and learned about Inuit inventions and story telling.
