March Beginnings...
Hello,
We have had a great start to March this week...skiing was excellent! Many of the students have mentioned that they loved the day which was encouraging to hear. We will be going again on March 17 - weather permitting.
In LA we have been working on grammar, lit. circles and writing with a specific purpose. We are nearing the end of our lit. circles, with hopes to complete them by the middle of March. We hope to be tackling poetry in April.
Social has been interesting with our discovering how different Aboriginal groups met their needs in the different regions of Alberta as well as how they passed along their traditions. We are working on a Buffalo robe project which has the students telling the story by using symbols rather than word.
In science, we have wrapped up our simple machines unit and have begun applying our knowledge to complete the tasks in our Building Devices Challenge for the TTT Company. Ask your student about this unique learning challenge.
In math, we are wrapping up our section on multiple digit by one digit multiplication. This is a very difficult task if basic multiplication facts have not been mastered. Please challenge your student to know all facts in multiplication - without having to count or figure or use manipulatives. We will be beginning division next week.
Dates to remember for March:
