Good Evening Parents!

Please remember that there is no school on Friday!

UOI: Today we learned what a natural resource is. We discussed what it is and created a definition that we would all remember. We then discussed what a renewable and nonrenewable resource is. We discussed the different resources that we have in Canada and where we can find each resource in our physical regions. Students then completed a foldable, and will have to complete some research to find renewable and non-renewable resources in the province or territory that they have chosen to research. Children are able to show their learning in picture, words or in pictures and words.

Please have the children reread the information on the Physical Regions in Canada. They will be having an assessment on this topic next week. See below for a practice quiz.

Language: We learned what the purpose of writing a report is, and the necessary criteria to write a successful report. Students also learned a new comprehension strategy as we read the example report in our workbooks. Students closed their eyes and visualized each paragraph to have a better understanding of that the report was about.

Math: We began a pre-assessment for our second unit in math, which will be Number Patterns.

Spelling:Lesson 4 is due on Thursday. Spelling Test is also on Thursday.

French: No Spelling test this week.

Music: Students are asked to use their white music folders to review musical notes and practice their recorders. Please return these folders daily.

Anne of Green Gables: We did not read any Anne of Green Gables today.
