In Math this week we continued our focus on learning our multiplication facts by focusing on our 4 times tables and using the strategy of doubling our doubles. We practiced our facts by using think boards, playing array conquer and multiplication fill-in. Mr. Traynor also began teaching us about asking data collection questions that are clear and specific, collecting information using tallies and displaying the information on a pictograph.
In Science, we started researching about wolves using our note taking skills. We are working in small groups and using information websites to locate information about wolves. This week we focused as a whole class about wolf habitats and some of the challenges and adaptations of wolves.
In gymnastic we are learning about gymnastics. We have focused so far on safe movements and balance.
In Art on Friday we used our drawing skills to draw a realistic picture of a wolf. It was not easy and we had to develop our perseverance skills to get our pictures the way that we wanted them. At the end we gave positive as well as constructive feedback to help each other get even better in the future.
We had a really interesting week. Our highlight was going to the Calgary Zoo on Wednesday. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers for coming along. We had a great time on our photography scavenger hunt. We used this trip as a chance to learn more about the different animal classes as well as animal life cycles. We also took this opportunity to learn about the animal that our class is focusing on, the wolf.
