Hello families, This week we  started to create a sketchbook page based on our read-out-loud novel   Finders Keepers . We began by replicating the map found in the front of the book and identifying where our two main characters, Danny and Joshua, live. Next week we will continue with our exploration Indigenous storytelling and historical landmarks.

Hello families, We had a wonderful short week honouring Remembrance Day and showing our appreciation for our veterans. Through investigation of the history, purpose and emotions of Remembrance Day, we has some very meaningful conversations about veterans and how we can show empathy and respect. Students spent the week drafting and revising a letter to the veterans, accompanying it with some beautiful poppy art.  

Hello room 5 families, What a busy week we have had!  Continuing with our math representation art, we created base ten donuts and number line pianos. We also practiced applying our knowledge of place value to stacked equations by carrying the tens up to solve for the sum.
