The past few weeks have been busy!
In Science, students performed an experiment where they answered the question: "What is the coldest place inside the school?" We travelled around to different areas, and used a thermometer to measure the temperature. We learned that the coldest place inside the school is inside the lunchroom freezer.
We have been doing more preparation work for our Meteghan trip! (Social Studies)
Each class decided on a route to Meteghan, using prior knowledge from our research project last month. Ms. McGill's class will be flying to St. John's, taking the ferry to Digby, Nova Scotia, and then a bus to Meteghan. Now, we are making a packing list.
Math: Following the activity where we made videos describing and comparing our favorite 3-Dimensional shapes, we began to study 2-Dimensional shapes. Goals for the students in Ms. McGill's class were that by the end of the week, they would be able say, "I can describe the difference between 2-D and 3-D shapes." and "I can identify what the D stands for in 2-D and 3-D." Ms. Rahal's class began to identify 2-D shapes in their environment.
Writing: Both Ms. McGill and Ms. Rahal's classes are working extremely hard to develop their comprehension skills. Part of this journey means identifying the beginning, middle, and end parts of stories, as well as the characters, setting, problem, and solution.
Last week, Ms. McGill's class read the book "ish", by Peter Reynolds, and students worked to independently identify the beginning, middle, and end parts. Additionally, both classes learned about contractions (you are = you're) and Ms. Rahal's class worked on adding "juicy" a.k.a. descriptive words to their writing.
Have a fantastic week!
