January 22-26
The last two weeks in Social Studies students have been focusing on our school as a community that we all belong to. Students took a tour of our school, collecting information on our school logo and other important symbols, flags, and special places around our school. We also have been practicing geographical thinking by learning about different types of map, the information they represent, and began to create a simple map of a familiar place…our classroom!
Success criteria:
I can identify a different community or group that I belong to
I can recognize this group that I belong to (by symbols or logos)
I can create and use a simple map to locate places
Math
In math we have continued our look at geometry. Students looked closer at 3D shapes and the faces that make up each cube, rectangular prism, cone, and cylinder. They did this by tracing each shape and its faces then describing what they noticed about each shape.
Special Guest
On Wednesday`we had a visit by a special guest Hal Eagletail. Hal is a Knowledge Keeper and member of the Northern Dene TsuuT'ina Nation located in the Treaty 7 area of southern Alberta. He shared many pieces of wisdom, sang songs, and shared about his culture. Ask your child what they enjoyed about Hal’s visit.
