This week we went up the hill to the community garden to help clean up garbage in belated honour of Earth Day. Everyone took their job very seriously and were very competitive in trying to find trash to pick up. We also had a sharing circle to talk about the gratitude we felt for Na'ha (mother earth)
I Can Recognize How Communities Were Different in the Past Than How They Are Today:
This week in social studies we have been talking about how communities have changed over time. We took our learning outside to talk about how schools have changed from one-room school houses, to larger buildings like Ramsay school, and how they look of the building continues to change in newer communities.
Literacy:
This week we worked on the trigraphs - 'tch' /ch/ and 'dge' /j/.
Our new heart words were: woman, women, move,
Math:
We finished up our work on fractions (1/2) and have started building on some mental math strategies to help us recall the answers of addition and subtraction with greater automaticity. We even used the chromebooks and Google classroom to practice doubles.
