November 4th

Hello Room 17 families, 

On Monday it was Halloween, we had to complete a Halloween escape room challenge to get our November pencil. We also had our Halloween parade and were excited to see so many parents come out to join in the fun. 

We started some new art this week for Remembrance Day. We are making a field of poppies. 

In math we have continued working on patterning with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and have been turning our patterns into a line graphs. 

In science, we have been looking at different prints for our evidence and investigation unit. We investigated animal prints, and human prints including looking at shoe size, and shoe prints. We made a chart of classroom shoes based on different characteristics. 

In writing we have been learning about informal letters. We wrote a letter to a friend or family member about our Halloween. We also did some Halloween writing plans with our buddies. 

We have been learning about rights vs responsibilities in social studies. We have also been reviewing the 4 pillars of democracy. 

** REMINDER* please return all forms for our City Hall Field Trip as soon as possible so that I can ensure I have everything organized and ready to go.*

*Reminder that school photo retakes are on Monday, if you are hoping to get retakes ensure you bring your form from your photo*

 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. We have also been looking at the different levels of government. We looked around our community for evidence of government services, and then created a

 Blog by Mulan!           In writing, we did picture prompts, where we got to choose between 2 pictures to write a story about. The pictures were Stilt Town and Strength of a Thousand. 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. We had the choice to either make a poster about the Charter, or write summaries on a computer. We also talked about problems that has to do with the Charter. We had debates about them too.     In science, we learned about tire tracks. We went to the parking lot with a buddy, and sketched the tracks in the snow.
