Feb. 13th

Dear Parents,
We hope you enjoy the long weekend. The week was short, and 2 unexpected days without technology make for a short update.
Humanities- Students started their amazing race log book this week and identified aspects regions have in common and elements that affect life in a region. They also became familiar with the 6 regions and which provinces are in each region.
Project Beautiful- This week we began talking about the beauty that can be found in people. Our focus is on the character traits we can infer through people's actions. We watched, “Wonder,” to practice making these inferences about characters.  Students are engaging in some brief research about a person in the past or present whose actions show positive character traits and creating a bookmark to share their understanding with others.
Math - On Monday students did a quick check-in on the box method for division. We will look at these together next week, keep an eye on SeeSaw for those.  We also began to learn the Big 7 method for division.  
​Science - We began to look at factors that contribute to extreme weather events.  This will help us when we start looking regionally at the types of extreme weather events that happen across Canada and how this affects the people who live there.
