Thanks for all of your support in making our F.AVE Field Day a success!!! We had such a great morning at McKoy Park playing soccer, volleyball, basketball, kickball, dancing and playing. The weather turned out awesome and our class rocked the games with good sportsmanship and positive and encouraging attitudes. We couldn't have asked for a better day!
While we know the end is near, we still have lots of learning going on in room 227. This will be a busy week for us as we enjoy the fun week at Fave (silly hat day, wacky tacky day, etc) but also as we wrap up our Term 6 learning.
In ELA this week we are reviewing making inferences, identifying theme, summarizing, paraphrasing and opinion writing. We will also start our UOI Summative Writing Piece mid-week. For this writing piece your child will choose one person to write a brief biography about. They will discuss his/her life, what his/her believe was, how that person stood up for it and how doing so made a difference. They will connect it to our UOI Central Idea for this term: One person's willingness to stand up for his/her beliefs can make a difference.
In Social Studies we have wrapped up Women's Rights and are moving into the Core Democratic Values (common good, diversity, equality, justice, liberty, life, pursuit of happiness, popular sovereignty, patriotism, rule of law, truth). We will discuss them all and each child will determine the 4-5 they most closely relate to and create an iPad presentation for them.
In Math we are working on our culminating task, "Geometry Town". The students are working in pairs to follow directions to create a town using different examples of lines, shapes, angles and more!
In Science we will work through the Scientific Process to learn how to investigate scientific experiments.
Here's to a busy, fun-filled week! Hope you have a great one!
