The students started off the day today working on language. In today's class the students explored the use of diagrams. As a class they discussed how, when and why we use a diagram to present information. The students then had the opportunity to create their own diagrams. They had a lot of fun with this activity! Ask your child tonight what type of diagram they created. The students also had time to reflect on their weekends by writing in their journals during language today. Lastly, they also worked on cursive writing.
During our Unit of Inquiry today the students continued on with our new our unit 'How the World Works'. In today's class the students continued inquiring into the different types of forces. Students were asked to brainstorm as many ways as they could think of to move an object (examples of pushing, pulling, or using another object to create a force were all explored) They were then asked to explore an image and brainstorm the examples of pushing and pulling they saw in the image.
During mathematics today the students had their geometry unit test. Marked unit tests will be coming home with all students shortly.
Students also went to PE, Art and French classes.
Homework: Read for 2o minutes and record in the reading log, practice weekly spelling words, and Cursive pages 48 - 49.
