We had a collection on loan from the Canada War Museum. This was the first collection we will examine, as we inquire into, “What can collections tell us?” So far students have determined that collections can inform us about events in history. Students also finished off some assignments and completed their “Wishtree” novel study work. Next week we will practice some mapping skills and build on our understanding of Canadian geography. Math/Science: This week in Science we continued our talk about adaptations and started to explore the life cycle of different wetland organisms and vegetation. We will continue looking at the life cycle more in depth next week before the Fall break. In Math, we have been practicing key skills such as place value, rounding numbers, estimation strategies, and adding large numbers. On Tuesday we completed a check in on place value, and many students demonstrated a strong understanding of these concepts. Well done!
