Funwork this week:

Math: We are becoming familiar with multiples and their patterns. Families can extend this conversation by looking for items that are counted in multiples; for example, items in a grocery store like toilet paper, in the garden like petals on a flower, or on a vehicle like wheels etc. Math is everywhere.

Language Arts: We will be selecting scripts to read in our theatre seating groups. Students will be working on reading fluently and with emotion. Students will also be working on the writing process: drafting, proofreading, editing, and refining their writing. The 6 traits of writing will be a focus:


French: Carnaval de Quebec and using cognates, words that sound like English, as well as non verbal language to navigate a second language, in this case, French.

Social Studies and Science: The cross curricular inquiry question that we will be investigating is: How have natural resources shaped and continue to shape the economy and identity of British Columbia's communities (eg. Sooke)? We will be doing a project on this to be presented at our April open house.

Assessments:
We completed a Science POP and it is available to view on Freshgrade.

Here's to a great week of learning.

Your teachers,
Ms Powers and Ms Bridal
