We continued our project-based unit in Language Arts called "Let's Go Camping."

After using the Travel Alberta website to pick their top four places to camp, the students narrowed down their choices to select their final destination. Using Google, they answered some important questions about the distance away, weather, temperature, and terrain of their chosen campsite. We then worked through a Camping Supplies list, selecting items that we feel we might need on our camping trip. The students then chose their top eight must-have items from the Camping Supplies page. They chose their items carefully, selecting each item because of the purpose it serves. We then completed a Shopping List activity where the students were given 100 credits and had to select food items, for their camping trip, from the menu without going over the 100 credits. Finally, they used their shopping list to create a menu for the day; including breakfast, lunch, snack and supper.

This week the students completed activites on irregular plurals - adding "ies", "es", and "s" to words.

We started a Division Facts booklet this week. The students work through a page of division questions and record how long it takes them to complete the page. We mark these questions together as a class. The goal is to improve speed and accuracy.

Mathletics is a comprehensive online learning tool with lessons and activities specifically aligned to the Alberta math curriculum. Your child has been assigned activities that align to the lessons taught in class. Please have your child spend some time at home to complete these activities.
