News for November 6
This week, the students began their first research projects based on countries of the world. First each student chose a country that they are interested in learning more about. Next they started to gather information using a project planner. Then they learned how to use stencils to draw a title on poster paper.
The class learned about and discussed Remembrance Day and how it is observed in Canada. The students each wrote about peace and put the information into 33 words (11th hour/11th day/11th month = 33). The class learned a peace song and the American Sign Language (ASL) signs to go with the song. We will perform this song at the Remembrance Day assembly on November 11.
In math, the students did the assessment for the measurement unit. Now the class is working on number sense and numeration, focusing on addition and subtraction facts and moving into two and three digit addition and subtraction. They also played the game "Race to 100" using two dice to practise their addition facts.
In computers, the students created comics using the website:
Students are able (and encouraged) to create comics at home using our class login and password.
The children learned how to fold paper cranes. They listened to the story of "Sadako", about a Japanese girl who was the inspiration for the paper crane becoming a universal symbol of peace. These cranes will part of our class "peace tree" decoration at the Remembrance Day assembly.
