It was a pleasure to speak with many of you last week. This school year is really moving along!
No major updates for this week. We will be heading into Advent season soon, and only 4 more school weeks until the holidays!
As we move through these weeks, we will be working on a pair of persuasive writing exercises. This week, we will be writing persuasive notes for our favourite holiday or field trip. This will be followed by an "I want to be an Elf" Christmas exercise. In both instances, we will be looking at sentence structure, punctuation and paragraph formation.
In Math, we will be looking at how to measure area. Today, using the unit of Post-It notes, we tried measuring our desk tops and discovered some rules about measuring area. As I mentioned in many interviews, there will be weekly assignments put on Magma Math (found in the student portal) to help refine their abilities.
In Art, we are working on our One-Point Perspective pictures. Wow, some great artwork will be heading home! Also, in Science, they worked on some mini-group assignments on additives to soils. It was meant as an opportunity to work on our collaboration skills, and they did a pretty good job working together!
