Hello Families,
Students Learning Updates will be sent home December 2nd along with their own learning reflections. I will send them home in their yellow duotangs. Could you please sign them to verify that you have seen them.
In class, we will be moving into a pattern unit in math. Our ideas about ‘Why things float?’ have been explored in 5 experiments and we have collected our ideas and compared them to other scientists. We will check for understanding and then try to apply our new knowledge to a challenge (learning story above). Students are preparing a ‘Teach Us Something’ topic that they will present and capture in a manual. After being guided through a couple of novels, the students will now read a novel (Stone Fox) and respond to some questions independently. And of course, there will be some seasonal activities over the next few weeks before the break.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Michael
