Hello Families,

Some of the exciting things we did this week were:

- exploring increasing and decreasing patterns related to multiplication and division using input and output tables.  Student also collaborated while working on the problem of the week; a weekly multi-step word problem that targets various math concepts.

- inviting our buddies to join us in the gym to play some collaborative games, line tag and wax museum and get their bodies moving. They had an amazing time and were able to act as excellent leaders.

- created visual journal covers using leaves that they gathered and pressed.  All so unique and beautiful! 

 

- practicing the song that they will be preforming at the Remembrance Day assembly in Music.  The assembly will be held in the morning on November 10th.  Time TBD.

- continued our inquiry into evidence and investigation, specifically finger prints.  Student conducted research to learn about fingerprint facts and types, characteristics and how investigators must match type and 8-10 characteristics to have a positive match.  They even analyzed their own prints, recorded the amounts so loop, whorls and arches and then we combined all of the individual data into a larger set, so that each student could create a bar graph representing the data.

- listened to more of our class read aloud, "Gregor the Overlander".  Following the end of each three chapter sections students have been engaging in vocabulary work, summarizing events, making predictions and inferring based on evidence, and making text-to-self connections.
