Week 1 - January
Happy New Year Families!
Here are your updates for last one week after winter break:
Language Arts
Students have finished their novel "The Other Place" before winter break and have completed multiple reading responses that was provided throughout the novel study. Currently, they are learning to draft a "business letter" as part of their Langevin Market project where they would contact a mentor for their line of business.
Social Studies
Students are learning about Fur Trade and different phases of fur trade. As a next step, they will be working on a fur trading post project where they would utilize their acquired knowledge from Science about Structures & Forces to build a fur trading post model.
Science
We have been learning about different ways to identify a structure in terms of design and function. During last week, students worked on a research activity where they were asked to research about a structure and identify the influence/impact of its function, aesthetics, environmental factors in the design, materials, margin of safety.
Math
We have been working really hard on our integers. We have completed a review on integers most specifically addition and subtraction of integers, additive inverse, absolute value of integers and how to represent integers in a word problem. Next, we will be working on fractions and percentages.
Please fell free to contact me for any clarifications.
