Hello everyone!
Our first trip of the year is approaching, and it will serve as an entry point for our next IPC unit, “Scavengers and Settlers.” For more information and to fill out the permission form, please click here.
Here are some highlights from this week’s learning:
In English, we used our plans from the previous week to write our own letters inspired by the text “Seal Surfer.” We dedicated each day to writing a paragraph, allowing us to focus on applying all our recent learning.
In maths, we wrapped up our exploration of addition and transitioned to subtraction. Today, students tackled the more challenging concept of exchanging when there aren’t enough ones to complete the subtraction—this involves exchanging a ten for some ones. Some students took on the role of teachers, helping and guiding their peers through this process.
In IPC, we completed our poster on the digestive system and began learning about the heart and lungs. While exploring the heart, we checked our pulses and observed how they change after exercising. The students also created a model using a bottle, straws, and balloons to demonstrate how lungs work.
