Second week is in the books!

The school year already seems to be flying by. I guess time flies when you're having fun!

 

Students research and presented their first group project last week in ELA. Each group researched about a category of "7 Wonders".

 

    7 Wonders of the Ancient World 

 

 

 

   7 Wonders of the Modern World

 

7 Wonders of Canada by CBC

 

          7 Wonders of Saskatchewan by CBC

 

7 Natural Wonders of Canada

 

 

The kids had a great time learning about each wonder in their category and they all did a fantastic job teaching the class about them!

 

 

One of our math classes has been put aside to specifically work on the school's math LIP goal with increasing students math communication skills. This week students learned why it is so important to add justification to their writing, especially when they are explaining a thought. To practice this students had to take a familiar story that had all the details taken out and add their own details. We called it the "Little Red Riding Hood And Then" story. Take a look at what the students had to work with.

 

 

In Social Studies we started to look at different types of map projections. To introduce students to this we watch an episode of "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?" After a few notes students created their own "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?" route that they will have a fellow student try to catch Carmen.

 

 

In Science students read about what all living things need to survive. They are now creating a virtual terrarium with an ecosystem of their choice.
