Highlight of the week.

Students have begun work on their acorn art for this year. We have chosen to emulate the style of Canadian artist Ted Harrison to create beautiful natural images. You will have the opportunity to purchase this image through Acorn Art which will come home next week.

 LA This week we continued developing our writing through the creation of monsters. Students drew a monster and have used their language skills to write a descriptive paragraph about their monster. Our focus has been on the use of adjectives, adverbs, (triple scoop words) formulating full sentences and the use of similes to compare elements of their monster with known items. 

Math We have continued to investigate numbers in a variety of ways through representing and patterning and have incorporated a problem solving focus.

Science Our animal research has continued and the students are finalizing the gathering of facts which they will use to create a poster representing important ideas about their animal. We have also begun looking at habitat and how adaptations allow an animal to better survive in certain habitats.

Social We are currently investigating the geographical regions of Peru and we will use this information to se how the people live in specific areas and how the land shapes their lifestyle.
