The highlight this week was definately making maps of Alberta showcasing the 6 natural regions. These include Canadian Shield, Rocky Mountains, Foothills, Boreal Forest, Parkland and Grassland. We also discussed that this type of project is great for kinesthetic learners, which means hands on learners! We are also concluding our current math unit and moving on to exploring whole numbers.
Our spelling program has started. This is a unique program which allows each student to have a individualized spelling list. Students are able to choose words that are appropriate for their level of spelling and it promotes students to take risks and be challenged. Each Wednesday we will take our weekly spelling quiz and new words will come home.
The Terry Fox Run was on Friday! What a fantastic cause.
Stay tuned for the October Newsletter, which will be coming out very soon.
