 Hello room 17 families!


We have had a busy couple of weeks! The students had an amazing week last week at outdoor school. We had a great time exploring the forest, learning skills such as fire and shelter building, engaging in games around economics and the food chain, participating in cooperative challenges and creative tasks. It was an wonderful week of learning and fun!

This week, we wrapped up our 'Student Vote'. Students worked in groups to research the different parties, their leader, and the local candidate. We engaged in discussions, watched debates, and heard party leaders answer questions posed by students. Finally students were able to vote on the candidate they felt alligned most with their 'political views'. 

In Science, we continued learning about Trees and Forests, spending lots of time looking at trees and leaves, sketching them, labelling the different parts and classifying them based on learned characteristics. We have also begun learning about air, aerodynamics and flight, in preparation for a special guest coming in to our class next week.

In Math, we have been connecting our understanding of decimals, to new learning around fractions. We will be continuing this learning next week.

 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
