Update

We've had another busy week with the Thanksgiving luncheon and Literary Cafe; it was GREAT seeing such supportive families.  Here is what we've covered so far this week:


Language Arts (Reading/Writing) - We are working through understanding how to use persuasive arguments in everyday life.  After the break we are going to read a short play, finish learning about poetry elements and start our term 3 persuasive writing paper.


Science - Students completed and checked their Electricity vocabulary review sheet.  After the break students will build another circuit and be assessed on their knowledge of electricity.


Math - Students learned about equivalent fractions, divisibility rules (2-10), Prime/Composite numbers, and how to find the Greatest Common Factor of two numbers. After the break students will learn how to model multiplication and division of fractions and how to add and subtract fractions with dissimilar denominators.


Social Studies - Students completed two group activities where they found information about immigrants and industry at the turn of the century.  Some students had a few issues with working in groups; however, this presented an opportunity to reinforce our classroom rules and remember that we are a community of learners.
