Room 22 Weekly Update
Learning Intentions this week:
LA- I can write a thoughtful reflection about a reading. I can use a picture prompt to plan, organize and write a story with detailed descriptions.
Math- I can multiply using a multiplication chart, arrays, groups, and decks of cards. I can explain how addition and multiplication are related.
Social- I can review and recall facts about land regions in Canada and make informed hypotheses about people living in similar areas in other countries.
Science- I can state the different ways electricity is generated and if the type of electricity is natural or man-made.
Language Arts
In LA, we have begun working with words with a focus on spelling patterns. Students were asked to create sentences using the words and hand them in on Monday to Mr. Kinsman. We also practiced planning a story using a picture prompt.
Math
During math, students have been building fluency with multiplication facts from 1-9. Ask me to play multiplication war with you.
Science
This week we have been investigating electricity. We learned about how power is generated, and man-made vs. natural electricity. Here is our initial sorting process.

We will be tracking the amount of electricity we use in a day in preparation for out "electricity out" day.
Social
This week we finished viewing oral presentations on the seven land regions of Canada and started a review page in preparation for a quiz next week.
We have been discussing current events. Current events helps students understand the importance of people, events, and issues in the news; it stimulates students to explore and learn more about the news, and to pay attention to the news they see and hear outside of our school.
We will be starting to work on analyzing cartoon pictures. Here is a sample of one of our activities.
1. Brainstorm- Look at the cartoon below. What do you think of when you see it? Write your ideas in keywords.
2. Discuss- What /Who is being shown? Is there a celebration? What kind of mood is being represented? Why? Which elements does the cartoonist use? What is the cartoonist's intention? Do you like the cartoon? Give reasons.
3. Write an analysis.
