January 13 - 17
With the chilly weather and the buses being cancelled, we definitely had fewer students in class this week. Although the students participated in a few “snow day” activities, we still got a fair amount of curriculum covered as well. As they say, the show must go on!
Our Kidblog writing schedule this week included:
Journal Writing Monday - Weekend Post
Talk About it Tuesday - Would You Rather Ice Skate or Ice Fish?
WeSearch Wednesday - Alpine Responsibility Code
3, 2, 1 Thursday - Week in Review
LA
We wrapped up our Just One Word - New Years Resolution Project this week. The students illustrated their “one word” and wrote a paragraph about why they chose that particular word to focus on in 2020.
As a culmination of our Chris Van Allsburg author study, the students were asked to create a comic strip to retell the main events of a story of their choice. They were given a three panel comic strip template to illustrate the beginning, middle and end of their story.
Math
We completed our Number Sense - Addition and Subtraction Unit is math this week. The students wrote a unit test to assess their knowledge of the unit. Our next unit in Math is Number Sense - Multiplication and Division.
Social
The students were asked to use the website www.firstpeoplesofcanada.com to fill in a web about five of Alberta’s First Peoples groups. They were asked to record at least two facts about each of the following First Nations groups in Alberta: Chipewyan (Subarctic), Kainai (Plains), Slavey (Subarctic), The Plains Cree (Plains), and Siksika (Plains).
Art
Based on the book "Snowballs" by Lois Elhert, the students created a mixed media Birch Trees and Birds art project. The book features some really beautiful winter-themed collages. The illustrations in the book were unique and inspired us to create our own versions of Birch Trees and Birds.
Congratulations to our Student of the Week!
