We have been working hard to understand what the past is and means in Social Studies. We learned what a timeline is and how it is similar to a number line. The kids learned that their time line is shorter than Mine (by lots lol). We discussed important life events and how to draw and place important events such as moving houses, siblings being born or even moving countries can be place on their timeline. If you have a baby photo of your child that we could place on their timeline we would love to see it. Please email that to aediduch@cbe.ab.ca. We started watching episode of a old show about the historical past to learn about how life was different. The show is called the Little House on the Prairie! We have seen how houses, schools and stores look very different! If you are able to visit Heritage Park in the next couple of month this will help develop your little learners understanding of the past.
In Science/ Art we are learning about how paint does not stick to all surfaces. We are having fun creating our very own scratch art. Keep watching here to see the results.
Students are showing wonderful growth in their ability to sound out words to write. We have been focusing on multi-letter graphemes such as 'th', 'ch', 'wh' 'sh', 'aw', 'au' and are looking letter chunks that make one sound in our reading to help problem solve longer more complex words. The kids are becoming braver when writing and are independently writing more and more often.
In Math we have started learning about word or story problems and the Math language that helps us to know whether to add or subtract. We are working towards writing our own Math problem for others to solve. Our knowledge and memorization of basic addition and subtraction facts is really growing! We have a quiz every 3 week that is showing great growth!
