This week in our learning:
In social studies we continued to talk about Iqaluit. We have been looking at some of the changes and similarities between life in Iqaluit long ago and today. We have briefly started looking at the next community of study - Meteghan, Nova Scotia. Just like Iqaluit, life in Meteghan has changed in some ways, but not in others.
Ask your student about what they have written about during Language Arts. We are learning how to pick 'just right' books and working towards building our reading stamina by charting how long we can read to self without distractions! The goal is to read, read, read! We are looking at the differences between fiction and non-fiction books.
In Science, we are continuing to look at magnets. We are having fun exploring magnetic and non-magnetic objects. We are focusing on vocabulary such as magnetic, non-magnetic, repel, attract, north and south.
In math we are reviewing single digit addition and subtraction using manipulatives and other helpful strategies like counting on, making ten and using number lines to help prepare us for double digit addition with and without regrouping. This will be tricky work and it would be beneficial for your student to practice basic facts at home to make this next step easier. We are asking ourselves questions like, How do I know I have to add? and How do I know that I have to subtract?
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! See you next week!
