HAPPY WEEKEND!
In LITERACY we continued exploring the elements of stories. We read, watched, and listened to familiar stories. Then we continued to talk and wrote about the various story elements, such as characters, setting, problem, and solution. We watched another Pixar Short Film called "Taking Flight," and paused the video before it was over. Students had to focus on creating a solution to the problem and rewrite the ending of the story.
Our sight words for next week are:
again

In MATH we have been working on SUBTRACTION. We explored different subtraction strategies and practiced using them when given a challenging word problem. We even challenged students to come up with their own subtraction word problem! We continued to practice vertical subtraction without regrouping! We know that when we subtract, the order of the numbers DOES matter! Putting the bigger number on top is the only way our equation makes sense!
In SCIENCE, we continued our project becoming WATER CONSERVATIONISTS! We split into three groups this week and rotated between different teachers for more targeted and small group instruction surrounding water conservation in our own country.
We learned how to extract important information while researching and explored the website, True North Aid.We learned that 1 in 5 reservations in Canada are under a Boil Water Advisory.
We learned about a young Indigenous water conservationist, Autumn Peltier! She is only 13 years old and spoke to the UN and Justin Trudeau, advocating for clean water on reservations that have been polluted by the pipeline!
We continued to reflect on our own water usage and discussed the ways in which we could make changes in our own lives. We created VLOGS and recorded how inspired we were to make a difference!
In SOCIAL STUDIES we continued our exploration of The Blackfoot First Nation by exploring the rich tradition of Indigenous storytelling. Our wonderful Education Assistant, Mrs. Luckhardt shared the traditional story, “The Raven and the Owl.” We compared her version of the story to the video below.
HAVE A SAFE AND LOVELY WEEKEND FAMILIES <3
