November 18

 Hello Room 17 families, 

This week we have been downtown on our week long learning experience "City Hall School" exploring our class idea: Old Enough to Make a Change.  We have been having an amazing time exploring city hall, hearing from a wide variety of experts, learning about different pieces of our government, meeting and asking questions of our mayor, as well as Ward 14's Councillor Demong. We have been sketching, writing jot notes, wondering, observing, listening and overall exploring our way through the various spaces of downtown Calgary!

 Hello Room 17 families,  This week we have been working on word problems involving patterning. Students have been discussing and using different strategies in order to solve a variety of problems. In language arts, we have been looking at letter writing. We have been distinguishing the different features and uses of letters, looking particularly at formal vs. informal letters. We also went on a walking field trip each day. We are working on building our walking stamina, as well as learning various journaling techniques. This is helping to prepare us for our week long field trip to City Hall school coming up in a couple of weeks, where we will be walking around downtown and journaling to share our ideas and learning.  In social studies we have been learning about the 4 pillars of democracy: equity, freedom, justice, and representation.

Stilt Town is a town built on stilts in the ocean, and Strength of a Thousand is a girl holding up a truck! For the story, we first wrote a planning page, then wrote the story and got feedback from a buddy.     In social studies, we learned about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
