Friday December 16 update

  ¡Hola familias!

This week in math we started practicing addition facts. Students were given the sheets and had 10 minutes to practice. We will continue to do this next week and carry on practicing in the new year. We continued with representing a 2-digit sum and representing a number up to 500 using four strategies as well as a review on graphing.

In science we have been learning about liquids. Yesterday we completed our experiment on what happens to water in an open vs. a closed container. Students saw that the water level in the open container dropped. Ask your child why.

In social studies we learned about Acadian food and drew a lobster.

In ELAL we are continuing to work on our how to writing. Students are working on an edited final copy.

In Spanish we are working on a question and answer sequence about Winter activities.

¿Qué te gusta hacer en el invierno? (What do you like to do in winter?)

¿Dónde lo haces (o practicas)? (Where do you do it?) 

¿Con quién lo hacer (o practicas)? (With who?)

Students will record themselves asking and answering the questions in the end when they are ready. 

In physical education we completed target games involving activities where students had to perfect their aim similar to bowling, curling, bocce, hockey and tossing a bean bag in a bucket.
