Ask your child about the learning we did this week....

- We continued using transition words to write about a process. This week we focused on writing directions to play a snowman math game! (see pictures below). This game will be coming home next week...please take time to play it with your child.
- More spelling fun using lego (see picture below).
Math:
- Our focus was on solving open-ended math problems and learning that some math problems have more than one answer.
- This is the most recent math problem we solved....Parents - give it a try!
Science:
- We continued learning about erosion and how humans and weather can cause erosion.
Social Studies:
- We learned about Services and shared our opinion about the services provided in villages and cities in Peru, Ukraine, India and Tunisia.

January 17 - January 21
Ask your child about the learning we did this week...
Literacy
- We reviewed transition words and using these words to describe a process
- We used transition and descriptive words and wrote about the process for building a snowman
- We had fun using Lego to "build" our spelling words. Can you figure out some of our spelling words?
- We are solving Open Ended math word problems with many possible answers. For example:
- We learned what a Net is and created 3-D shapes
Social Studies
- We are having fun becoming Fashion Designers by creating Traditional Clothing (from Peru, Ukraine and Tunisia) for our paper people.
Science
- We made a mess (but had fun) playing with mud, sand and water....in a scientific way!! Using dirt and adding water we discovered layers form and each layer is made up of certain material. We also used sand and water to learn about erosion and the harmful effects erosion can have on landforms.
Field Trip Updates:

- If you have small pieces of cloth or other items that will help create tradition clothing (for your paper doll) bring these items to school on Monday.

We are planning our first out of school field trip and are very excited. As of now, our plan is to go to the Telus Spark Science centre on February 2nd. This will be an all day field trip. We will need 5 volunteers that meet the specific requirements from the CBE. If you are not sure if you meet the requirements, please let me know. If you are able to volunteer, please send me an email at rmhowell@cbe.ab.ca If you are planning on helping out during this field trip please note: Mrs. Taylor will be scanning QR codes for proof of vaccination the morning of the field trip and Telus will also need to see proof of vaccination. Bring a paper copy in case the QR scanner is not working.
As excited as we are, we are also being cautious about this field trip. We understand with COVID that anything can change at any given time. We will not be sending home the forms until January 24th, so we can keep a close eye on protocols and mandates. If you have any questions, as always, please let me know!
