What a busy and exciting week this was at Rosedale, from Halloween to spirit week to our 125th assembly and scavenger hunt! Also, our student teacher, Ms. Bates joined us this week. She'll be teaching room 9 for a month.
In math this week students worked on solving problems that involve patterning, and used different strategies to solve open ended patterning problems. Students wrote a patterning quiz on Friday, which will be returned to be signed next week. We will start a new unit on data management next week.
In writing students finished their narrative writing and independent writing. Students also wrote a reading quiz on narratives that will be returned next week. In oral communication, students delivered their book chat.. Finally, we continued literature circles this week. Next week will be the final 2 meetings for literature circles. On Thursday students will share their literature circle homework project, in a celebration of learning and reading.
In social studies the grade fives continued to work on a project on a social justice or environmental issue in Canada. They are researching their topic, then writing and performing a rant on the topic. The grade sixes joined Mr. Siefert to learn about Canada's Interactions within the Global Community.
In phys. ed. we began a unit on volleyball. Students worked on defending open space and volleying.
