Welcome to room 22's Classroom Blog. We are excited to be the teacher's for room 22. Here is a little bit of information about each of us.
Mr. Kinsman has been teaching for 7 years. He previously taught Physical Education at Panorama Hills Elementary, and Grades 3 & 5 at Crossing Park School. Mr. Kinsman has three kids who he loves to take hiking and camping, go on road trips with and take bowling and golfing. When the sun is shining, Mr. Kinsman is in the mountains. Sometimes hiking or just driving or taking his motorcycle for a cruise. Mr. Kinsman's favorite subject is Math, but he loves politics and current events and really enjoys doing big projects in the classroom.
Mrs. Pierce has been teaching for 20 years. She has previously taught at Woodlands Elementary, Rundle Elementary and Coventry Hills. She loves books, camping, hiking, and taking photos. Mrs. Pierce enjoys completing projects with her students and using technology to make new discoveries. She is very excited to have moved to Ranchlands this year.
In language arts we will work on developing character sketches, creating whole characters that include physical attributes, location, personality, relationships, feelings etc.
In Math we will continue using our place value skills to work on numbers greater than a million and down to a thousandth.
In science, we will continue discussing living, non-living things in wetlands, learning about wetland plants and animals, water filtering, and food chains
In social studies, we will focus on the seven land regions of Canada and how the resources in these regions affect the lifestyles and peoples in their communities.
