- Math: Division is still going strong. We are doing a mix of paper/pencil activities and games this week. You can help at home by practicing basic division facts with your child. They seem to struggle especially with remembering that the total number needs to be first in the equation e.g. 24 ÷ 4 = 6 not 6 ÷ 4 = 24. We are learning how division is related to multiplication, but you can't just switch the signs!
- Language Arts:
- Spelling: Lesson 8 will conclude with the assessment on Thursday. You can help at home by having your child sort their words and practice them. Maybe make up some sentences with some of the words and have them write the whole sentence down, paying special attention to capitals, end punctuation, listening and, of course, the spelling of their list words and any other familiar words!
- Writing: Our Lost stories are coming along nicely.
- Science: We had a great time experimenting with levers last week! This week we will practice what we learned about first, second and third class levers. You can help at home by asking your child to find levers around the house and point out the fulcrum, effort and load.
- Social: This week we'll learn about Alberta's oil sands from different perspectives and the other natural resources that the Boreal Forest has to offer such as forestry.
