Our learning:

Literacy:

• We continued our learning about poetry and how to add alliterations to make our writing more interesting.  
• We then used that knowledge to create Thank You Poems to the Earth.  They were beautiful! 
• In writing, we also used a prompt to demonstrate our growth in writing this year.  We took time to plan and then wrote for 20 minutes.  Ask your child what the topics they were asked to write about (Hint: outside).

Math: 

• In grade one, we continued our learning around fractions and focused on one halves.  
• We then represented our understanding of fractions through an assessment to show what we know.  
• In grade two, we continued to build our understanding of inequality and equality by using equations to solve problems and represent equality.  
• Next week we are moving into learning about fractions.  

Inquiry:

• We continued our Mars and Earth comparison inquiry, where we created some Mars art and looked at the components of Earth.
• We discussed the May Cree Moon and discussed the changes that we have seen in the environment this month. Ask your child the name of the moon (hint: Leaf Budding Moon)
• In art, we spent time sketching and shading tree drawings that will become our Coulee school journal cover pages.  
• We also went to the kindergarten celebration of learning where they showed us their learning this year.  We also got to meet the ducks.  Please see the pictures below as the kindergarten learners were our teachers.
