Thank you so much. We had every parent from Room 8 attend our Parent-Teacher Night on Thursday. It was a great opportunity to discuss our successes and next steps.
This past week we were working on our new writing unit of persuasive writing. This type of writing will become very important as we explore our Science unit of Waste in Our World and our Social Studies exploration of current events that impact Alberta and the rest of the world.
In Math, we are beginning to look at a variety of strategies that we can use to solve addition problems. We start off by using an estimation strategy and then we use drawings, expanded notation (chunking), column addition and inverse operations.
During gym class, we have started to explore a new game called handball. To play this game we need to demonstrate accurate throwing skills, proper catching technique as well as teamwork, cooperation, fair play and defensive effort.
In Art, we continued our series of mixed media art explorations of the regions of Alberta. For this activity we used painting, cardboard, string and construction paper as well as printed images to create a postcard of the Alberta grasslands.
Mr. Katchur has asked me to remind students to practice for their winter concert. They will be playing a song called Cup Song to Sleigh Ride. Here is a link to the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2gsrC7g9TY
