Peek At Our Weeks - November


Language Arts Our scarecrow portraits are now finished! We will be working hard in the next week to describe our scarecrows in writing – developing the skill of describing story critical characters in our writing will help students show readers what they are thinking through writing. Near the end of this month we will write our first story using the writing techniques we’ve been studying thus far. We can’t wait to share our writing with you!
Math – Currently we are looking at how to represent numbers in different ways.  We are also extending our knowledge of increasing & decreasing patterns to look at 3 & 4 –digit numbers and the patterns our number system has. We will be moving from this into addition later this month.
Social Studies – The students have been really engaged in our discussions and study of quality of life in Canada and the four countries we are studying this year (Peru, Ukraine, Tunisia & India). As Remembrance Day approaches students will also be applying what they’ve learned to quantify the sacrifices our troops have made in order to make our country safe.
Science – We are very lucky! As we wrap up our Rocks & Minerals unit we have been able to complete many experiments as well as make our own crystals! The test for this unit will be Thurs., Nov. 10th (A study guide and handout with tips about preparing for tests sent home Tues.)
