Homework
Author Study-please make sure you have finished, shared and saved under shared folders=>your name=>literacy
Writing-Write in your favorite style (ex. stories, comics, non-fiction paragraphs, journal writing...) and edit using your editing guide sheet
Word Work- Study words for Monday's "Show What You Know." This week we focused on the the "ight" word family.
Social- Finish writing your interview questions in your google drive and start asking your family your questions
Literacy
Students focused on editing their writing this week. They were each provided a guide which focuses on checking punctuation, grammar, spelling and sentence structure. Using pencil crayon they were able to identify some mistakes by reading their work to themselves aloud and then independently making the corrections.
This week our spelling focus was "ight" words. Students worked on alphabetizing their word list which was very challenging to some. We will continue to work towards building the skill to put lists in alphabetical order to better improve our dictionary skills.
Math and French

Math and French
This week we continued to use number lines for estimating addition and adding and subtracting numbers in the hundreds and thousands.
We went from 0-100, 0-1000, and finally 0-10 000!
Question: How can we use our number line to estimate the sum of 189+420? Try it!
We played a game with adding thousands from 0 to get to 10 000 and subtracting thousands from 10 000 to get to zero. The last roll has to get you exactly to zero! Keep rolling until you get the number needed!
We integrated french by using some french vocabulary while playing the game!
Remember: un mille, deux mille, trois mille, quatre mille, cinq mille, six mille, sept mille, huit mille, neuf mille, dix mille!
On Thursday the students wrote a test that is intended as a math intervention/programming instrument. This shows us where the students need most support in the stems that we report on their report card (number sense, statistics and probability, patterns and relations and shape and space). We talked about how this is not something that students will be graded on and that it is simply a tool we use to find out what areas need most support to move learning forward.
Social Studies
The students worked on interview questions for "My Alberta" either on paper or on google docs. They also learned how to save on a shared folder that will contain all of their work this year.
We talked about what types of questions they can ask their family which will give them them the answers they need to create a presentation of "My Alberta" which meets the following outcome: I can appreciate how an understanding of Alberta’s history, peoples and stories contributes to their own sense of belonging and identity:

To introduce the Rocky Mountains as one of Alberta's 6 geographical regions, we completed a Ted Harrison inspired Art Project. Come in and check them out next week during conferences. The students put in a lot of time and effort to create a beautiful oil pastel picture.
