Blogs will be posted every Friday.
We have had a busy start to the year. We have already begun our INQUIRY into rocks and minerals. Students have been collecting, classifying and sorting rocks. We are looking at rocks through the lens of an ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGIST.
In mathematics, students have created some weird and wonderful creatures out of base ten blocks.
We jumped right into poetry. Using the poem, Rosie Fernandez, written by Wendy Morton, students filled in the blanks of a template to create a funny poem about their name. We then looked at some poets performing their piece and came up with some criteria for students to use. They then practiced sharing their poems and recorded on IRIS.
Students investigated maps. We began with our community, City, Province, Country and finished with a world map! We discussed the compass directions and how to create and read a legend.
Students visited the Learning Commons and are able to choose 2 books to bring home. They have a 'reading log' in their home/school folder and will be exchanging or renewing books every Thursday.
