This week we learned to braaaaaggggg about our work. This is an important skill to work on because sometimes we focus on the things we still have to learn or mistakes we have made. We are trying to use a growth mindset, celebrate what we do well and make goals to help us improve. Thank you for coming to conferences and viewing our learning! Here are our up-dates for the week.
LA
This week in LA we began our new novel Pax! We started our unit by writing brief predictions about what the novel might be about, including the problem of the story. We also continued making Art Marks with a brief synopsis of the chapter. I am so proud of the students who handed in their Bridge to Terabithia final project. The level of detail, imagination, and description was impressive.
Math
This week in math we continued working on our Disneyland project to practice adding, subtracting, and multiplying decimals! I am enjoying seeing all of the creative ideas on how to spend money! For example, Danat is planning on going indoor skydiving!
Science
In science this week we continued to learn about electricity and magnetism through a rotation of centres. We have been creating simple circuits, series circuits, parallel circuits, adding switches, buzzers and lights. Exploring the impact of magnetism on compasses and on electricity, and talking about conductors, insulators and liquids that conduct electricity. We are also learning about electrical diagrams.
French
We finished putting together our French houses. After spring break we will be adding lighting, door bells, and/or a burglar alarm.
Challenges for Spring Break

Upcoming:
