Math
Here is our estimation challenge of the week:
Square Tiles: What is too high? What is too low? What is your estimate?
In math this week, the Grade 6's focused on learning about order of operations (BEDMAS). Ask me why mathematicians created BEDMAS and how you use it.
Grade 5's reviewed 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication using personal strategies and problem solving with multiplication. Next week we will take a look at division strategies.

Language Arts
Our school police officer, Constable Rich visited us to discuss digital and online safety. He had many great tips for keeping ourselves safe when playing games, using social media and texting.
We also started reading in our book club groups this week. Ask me what book my group has chosen to read.
We continued work on our photography project ,focusing on leading lines, rule of thirds and filling the frame. We are using photography to show our understanding of our Despereaux vocabulary. Ask me how this picture shows someone not conforming (just like Despereaux).
We have finished up our author research reports. Remember this work is overdue if you have not sat down to edit with Mrs. Kis. Next week we start on our independent book projects!

Social
We
have been learning about the differences between a dictatorship and
democracy. We have created a name for our "country" (Fourteenia)
and a flag. The students are in the process of getting passports and will
need to use them to visit other "countries" in the school. Our
classroom will start running as a dictatorship and shortly we will switch to a
democratic system. This will allow students some authentic experiences
and allow them to see the difference in different types of governments.
French
We have been learning about La Maison en Français (the house). Ask me about some locations in the house.
Other
We read with our Grade 1 and 2 buddies today. They taught us a new trick...it is called "Flashlight Reading". We had fun listening to our buddies read us their descriptive paragraphs.
Reminder
There is No School this Friday February 1st, 2019.
