Summary of the Week (September 23)

Some of the big ideas we learned about were:

• We looked at Google Earth and found North America, Canada, Alberta, Edmonton and even Pollard Meadows! Students took home a their social booklet to write down their home addresses.
• We learned a map is a drawing and we reviewed the cardinal directions – north, east, south, west. (Never Enter Shrek’s Washroom)
• We learned new reading centres (listening centre and big book centre) and practiced recording books we read and our opinions about them.
• We started writing a book about respect!
• We practised typing sentences on Spelling City with our word wall words.
• We learned the word represent means show. “I can represent a number in different ways.” = “I can show a number in different ways.”
• We practised using flashcards to review our basic facts for addition. Here is an online flashcard site for addition.
• In circle time students shared that they like when their classmates are helpful, kind and polite.
• In science, students are working with Mrs. Adam on hot and cold temperatures and using “hotter than” and “colder than”.
