ELA: During Daily 5 time, I will be conferencing with students on reading and writing goals. As well, students will be doing some reflecting and self-evaluating for this term. Students are working on writing stories for our upcoming Story Share. Spelling words this week have r-controlled vowels.

Math: We are subtracting 2 digit numbers. We have explored many strategies. Last week we learned a poem to help us with subtracting:

 

We also read math stories, created our own math story problems, and played 3 different math games (X-ray vision, Snakes and Ladder subtracting, and Around the World). We worked on math problems in our unit booklet and in our math journals.

 

Social: We are studying the Acadians of Meteghan. Last week, we enjoyed some Fiddle music while reading and writing about Acadian culture in our text/workbook. This week we will create some Acadian art and explore Acadian culture on the chromebooks. By Thursday, we will begin to look at Ukrainian culture in Saskatoon.
