\"moisWow! What a week we\u2019ve had! We started off with a desk change and new jobs<\/strong>, which meant a whole lot of moving, adjusting, and getting used to new faces beside us. Finding the perfect<\/em> partners was a bit of a challenge (because let\u2019s be honest, some of us are easily distracted… or very<\/em> good at distracting others), but we did our best! Teamwork makes the dream work<\/strong>, and this week, we focused on communicating and collaborating<\/strong> in all subjects.<\/p>\n

In math<\/strong>, we had a multiplication marathon! 🏃‍♂️💨 Your hands might be sore from all the writing, and your brains might be tired from all the thinking, but guess what? It\u2019s working!<\/strong> You\u2019re getting better, faster, and more confident! 3-by-1 multiplication?<\/strong> You\u2019ve got it! 2-by-2?<\/strong> Still growing, but we\u2019re getting there! Keep up the amazing effort!<\/p>\n

\"PettingWe also embarked on an ADST project that combines our Math skills with our building and designing skills.\u00a0 We are making a petting zoo!\u00a0 Our understanding of perimeter and area is being applied to this project as we design spaces for the animals that will be living there as well as the people that will come to visit. \"PrintableOur zoos need to have spaces for at least 5 different “petting zoo” animals as well as washrooms, a picnic area, and pathways throughout the whole zoo.\u00a0 We are finishing up the planning stages and will be constructing our zoo next week.<\/p>\n

In literacy<\/strong>, we became detectives<\/strong> 🔍 and searched for the author’s point<\/strong> in different texts. We started by reviewing the author\u2019s purpose and structure<\/strong>, thinking about why<\/em> an author writes (to persuade, inform, or entertain) and how<\/em> they organize their writing. Then, we dug deeper into finding the author’s point<\/strong> and supporting it with evidence from the text. We played a matching game, sorted ideas, and used clues from the text to back up our thinking. Who knew being a reading detective could be so fun?<\/p>\n

In science<\/strong>, we put on our geologist hats<\/strong> 🏔️ and wrapped up our learning about the three types of rocks<\/strong>. Using all our notes, activities, and each other\u2019s knowledge, we worked on summarizing and answering questions to prove just how much we know! (Hint: You know A LOT!)<\/p>\n

\"OceaniaWe “travelled” to the continent of Oceania this week!\u00a0 \u00a0This continent is made up of MANY little island nations.\u00a0 Do you remember how many?\u00a0 The largest of these islands is the country of Australia! \"Australian This is the land of kangaroos and koala bears as well as amazing marine life that can be found in the Great Barrier Reef.\u00a0 Would you ever want to actually visit the “land down under”?<\/p>\n

Finally, in Careers<\/strong>, we started thinking about our future selves<\/strong>! 🤔💭 We sorted through different activities to figure out what interests us and what\u2026 well, maybe not so much<\/em>. Next week, we\u2019ll dive into what we value<\/em> and start connecting the dots to possible career paths. Who knows? Maybe a future doctor, artist, scientist, or astronaut<\/strong> is sitting in our classroom right now! 🚀 We also enjoyed visiting and shopping at the Entrepreneur Fair<\/strong> put on by Divisions 1-4. \"Entrepreneur It was so fun to see their “shops” and the many different items they had available to sell.\u00a0 An entrepreneur is a person who creates their own business.\u00a0 Were you inspired by what you saw?\u00a0 If you had the opportunity, what “business” would you consider?<\/p>\n
