This week we were busy preparing for the online week (sining in, completing and submitting assignments, discussing via Google Meets) that would take place between January 4 to 8, 2021.
We will meet in Google Classroom on January 4th, with a daily schedule, activities and times to discuss via Google Meets. I hope to see all!
Until then, I wish you to have a relaxing and restful winter break!
Happy New Year!
In math we have started the next unit: subtraction. We began with estimating differences by solving diverse word problems and using numbers and complete sentences to explain the thinking process.
In science we focused on toxic waste: ways to manage it, to prevent it and to dispose it in order to reduce the impact on the habitat's health.
Through an engaging reader's theatre called 1867: The Journey Begins! the students have learned about the factors that led to the Canadian Confederation and the human efforts needed in order to take place.
In art we explore one point perspective by creating landscapes.
In writing we practiced using the tools offered in Google Classroom in order to prepare ourselves for the first week of school after the winter break.
In math we worked on solving problems with extra or incomplete information. In addition, the students were busy creating their own addition word problems starting from an equation.
In social studies we reflected on the changes generated by the fur trading on the lives of Indigenous People, Europeans and environment.
In writing, the students researched about elephants and expanded their tech skills by creating slides presentations.
