Hola Parents and guardians.  

In math, we continue to work on patterns, we have been working with a variety of different number patterns. 

In social studies, we are talking about the natural resources of Alberta and we looked at a specific case study of Fort McMurray.

In English, we have started our first novel study! We are reading the book Fatty Legs. We will be completing a chapter a week, if all goes to plan. Students will be tasked with completing specific book work after each chapter which includes summarizing, making inferences, predictions and working with the vocabulary. 

In Spanish, we are completing our descriptions of a famous character for our classmates to guess who is speaking and yesterday we completed our day with the guided reading in Spanish. 

In science, we have wrapped up our first experiment and will be moving on to our first full unit, Waste in our World.

In Art, we are working on Colour Theory. We tried building our own colour wheel using paint, from only the primary colours (learning to mix secondary and tertiary colours). It would seem we are still working on our fine-motor control, and so this activity has moved very slowly. Today we began learning about colour  blending, using colour pencils. We will continue with this work, to learn how to choose and use colours, so make colour combinations which attract the eye.
