Nov. 12 - Nov. 15
Here is our learning for the week of Nov. 12.
In gym we started learning volley ball skills. We have learned how to "bump" and "volley".
We got to try carrying large buckets of full water bottles across the field to experience what life is like for Nya from A Long Walk To Water.
In social studies we have started learning about the natural resources in Alberta. We are researching solar power, hydro power, oil, natural gas, coal, agriculture and forestry. We are going to become an expert in one of these areas and then we will present our findings to our classmates.
In music, we discovered a different instrument. It is called a gamalon and it's from Indonesia. It's sort of like a metal drum. We also wrote a 3 section story based on the feelings and rhythm from a song.
In French, the grade 4s are learning colour names. The grade 3s learning a new math game called Achi.
We started using the website readtheory.org to improve our reading comprehension. We also took home little cards that have information on our Read Theory and Typing.com accounts.
In math, both grades had a math review/quiz to see how we have been doing with our learning so far.
In art, we learned 2 different techniques for sketching in our visual journals. "Memory Sketch" and "Quick Gesture Sketch" are fun ways to sketch objects, people or buildings. Ask me how each technique is different.
REMINDERS:
- please bring back your field trip forms for our trip to 2School. We leave on November 25!
- Parent Teacher interviews are next week on Thursday evening and Friday all day
- Library every Wednesday
- Scholastic book orders are due next week!
