Language Arts

This week, in Language Arts we were doing a new Talk For Writing. It was a persuasion all about how chewing gum in class is a TERRIBLE idea. We learned that the purpose of a persuasion is to convince someone about something. All last week we practiced saying the entire persuasion because, "if we can say a persuasion we can write a persuasion."

Math 

In Math we learned some strategies to solve two-step word problems. We also learned how to use a picture or diagram to help us solve a word problem. The Grade 4's learned a strategy to help them solve two-digit times one digit multiplication. 


Social Studies 
The Glenbow Museum lent us a special kit that was full of artifacts like posters and pictures all about how the newcomers came to Alberta. We looked at photos of newcomers from Asia, Eastern Europe, England, Iceland and Africa and why they came to Canada as well as where they settled. We looked at some posters that were sent to attract people to Western Canada.

Also near the top of the question there is a prompt button that will give a clue and some math tools such as pens and 100 charts that can also support them. To prepare for next week please practice Multiplication facts wi...
