Thursday, Feb. 23

Highlights:

• In Math, we used the break it apart strategy to solve three digit equations for both addition and subtraction.
• For Literacy, we learned about open and closed syllables. We practiced counting the syllables by counting how many times our chin drops. We discussed how closed syllables have only one vowel followed by one or more consonants and an open syllable has only one vowel and it is the last letter in that syllable. Ask me what is an example of each!
• In PE, we did three different centres. Ask me what my favourite was.

• We did a special project for a community member today. Carl is a gentlemen that lives in the community and he will be celebrating his 100th birthday on March 7. We created birthday cards to help celebrate this important day!

• For Social Studies, we learned about the goods and services that are found in Peru. Ask me what is an example of each.
• During Makerspace, we connected our learning about the rainforest in Peru to a design challenge. We had to create a shelter that could be used in the rainforest.

Reminders:
