Here is a quick look at what we have been learning about in the classroom...
In Math, we have been learning to represent, compare, and order numbers to 10 000, pictorially and symbolically. We have been using base 10 blocks to construct and show to concept of regrouping in addition. We took a close look at Pascal's triangle and looked for patterns. We have been learning to identify, describe and extend patterns using tables and charts.
In ELA, we have been focusing on visualization in reading and writing. When reading we are trying to picture the story like it is a movie in our head. For writing, we are learning to use more descriptive word to help paint a picture for the reader.
In Science, we have been learning about Waste and Our World. We have been exploring humans impact on the environment through waste. We have identified different types of waste and how we can recycle different types of packaging.
In Social Studies, we have been learning about the different regions of Alberta. We looked at what each region looks like and what resources are available in each part of the province. We were lucky to have some artifacts for Ft. Calgary in class last week. These artifacts were from different Aboriginal peoples. We looked at the artifacts and learned about each piece looking at what the item was made of and what purpose the item was used for.
