Where has the month of September gone? I am sure we are all wondering this as we had once again been quite busy here in the classroom.
We have continued to work on our summary writing that helps us determine what information is most important and not. We will continue with this in our non-fiction unit.
For math we have continued to work on patterning. We have been focusing on using t-charts as a strategy to help us organize our thinking and to use proper mathematical language to express our answers.
In our Canada studies, we have continued to work away with mapping and have learned how to use an atlas. We will continue to do this for the remainder of the week.
Your child has chosen an animal for the habitat and communities project. At present, we are still wrapping up our understanding of structural and behavioural adaptations, food chain, and will learn about producers and consumers. Your child will receive their project package next week. It is important that the children understand the foundations of habitats and communities before we begin this.
Please note that we have homework this evening. Your child will need to work on mid-chapter review from the math textbook. This was assigned on Wednesday and unfortunately some children are behind and was not completed this past weekend. We will need to get caught up, hence, homework this evening. Also, in science, your child will need to complete their science homework, which consists of Food Chains on Isle Royale. This is due on Wednesday.
Just a reminder, this Wednesday evening (October 3rd) is the Meet the Teacher night! I am looking forward to meeting you all!
Happy Monday!
Mrs. Sauder
