Week of November 18-21

Reminders:
* Home reading/writing is due Friday November 28, 2019
*We are in need of recyclable material for our building unit
*We are taking non-perishable donations for the Calgary Food Bank

Language Arts:
Students continued to explore descriptive writing. Students brainstormed the senses of the Taj Mahal. When reading, students focused on fluency and blends.

Math:
We began our "Adding" unit with mental math strategies. Students reviewed "My Friend 10" from last week and moved onto the following strategies: "Near Doubles, Doubles Plus 1, and Relating Addition to Subtraction."
Students used white boards and markers to explore and practice these strategies. Using these strategies, students also solved word problems.



Inquiry:
In both Ms. Leggo's class and our class, students explored the various aspects of building. AMA what the strongest shapes are and why. AMA the different fasteners we used in class and the ones that were the strongest.



Thank you to all parents who made it to parent teacher conferences! Enjoy the weekend!
