In math this week, we continued a unit on geometry. Students learned how to name different types of triangles, as well as how to identify parallel lines in polygons. There will be a quiz on geometry on Thursday next week.
This week in language students evaluated their narrative with the theme of, "the power of kindness." We also finished literature circles. Each student read a book, and belonged to a book club. Groups met twice this week to discuss their book. Students completed a self and peer evaluation of their work in literature circles.
In social studies the grade 4's are learning about Canada's regions, and the grade 5's are learning about Canada's political system. The grade 5's continued to present their rant on a social justice issue in Canada. Grade 4's are working on and presenting a project about Canada's political regions. Grade 5's also started science. They participated in a Scientist in the School workshop on the human body.
In art, students are working on a piece that reflects the power of kindness. Students will use the creative process to draft, revise and edit their work.
