Updates On This Week

This Week in Math: 
This week in math we have continued with triangle math and then started to practice another strategy called number lines! Number lines help us add tricky numbers and its a good way to keep track of whether we are counting properly.


Ask me how I can use a number line to solve these problems:

15+16=

28+10=

18+9=

This Week in Writing: 
This week in writing we have started to learn how to create a paragraph. Today, we went into detail of how to write one using the hamburger model.


Today we worked with a partner to create a paragraph. Next week we will be working on creating a new paragraph about our insect.

Here are some of the transition words we used in our writing.


See if I can create a paragraph of my own with you!

This week in Art: 
These past few weeks we have been working with our artist in residence, she was amazing and taught us a lot! We made insects that live in the prairies in Alberta, and learned how to add texture and detail to our work. Can't wait until you can see all of what we did at conferences!

Also, we have created some art based on what we have been learning about Alberta in the past and what that used to look like.
These are just a few examples of what our art looked like, we cant wait for you to see the rest!

Reminders
Forms for ATP will be going home this coming Monday, please make sure that they are signed and given back asap.

I do hope that if you ever would like to, feel free to reach out to let me know new experiences or accomplishments your child has went through throughout the years. I would always love to hear about them. I feel so lucky and thankful to have had your child be part of my class, it has been such an amazing year. Thank you for all the support, and I wish you all the best end to this school year, as well as a great summer.  This week in Literacy:  This week in literacy we have been focusing on thick and thin questions.

Literacy QUESTIONING For the next few weeks we will be learning about asking and identifying  thick and thin questions while we read.  There are two types of questions, thick or thin. Thin questions are usually easier to answer, and don't require a lot of critical  thinking.  Thick questions are usually difficult to answer, as they usually have more than one answer, and require us to think deeper about our answer and use our schema to answer our questions.  Melting and Freezing  This week we have been focusing on WHAT is HEAT and WHAT is TEMPERATURE.  Interactive Thermometer: https://www.mathsisfun.com/measure/thermometer.html We have been talking about melting and freezing which relates to the states of matter and their molecules.  In math we have been adding past 100 and seeing what happens when we have ten 10's!
