November 22 - December 3

 

Hello Room 10 Families!

It has a been a busy couple of weeks. Only 10 more school days until Winter Break!

Social Studies

In social studies, we played guess the group one can belong to. The students guessed the groups by looking at objects, clothing, symbols and landmarks provided in class. We discussed what would be the benefits of belonging to the various groups. We then used our shape tracers to draw a graphic organizer to draw all the different kinds of groups one can belong to in our visual journals. As well, in groups the students brainstormed and drew/labelled what their responsibilities are at home, at school, and in the community.

Science

In science, we have been learning about how humans adapt and prepare for winter. The students really enjoyed the activity below where they coloured and cut out a paper person who they could then dress for the seasons. 

Math

We have been learning about 2D shapes in math. We combined literacy with math for the activity below and used our seven magic shapes to make different characters or objects from the story. Can you guess what animals we made with our shapes?

Science

Second Great Lesson has started in room 10 and 11. We learned that gases, specifically oxygen, formed in the atmosphere allowing living things to develop on Earth. We explored the five earliest life forms; bacteria, sponges, seaweed, sea worms and jellyfish.  We captured these 5 different living things in our visual journals. 

Math

Friday, November 19th marked our 50th day of school.  The students played Race to 50.  By rolling a dice and using ones and tens students raced to get to the number 50!

Social Studies

In social studies, students have been identifying what groups they belong to,  and ways we belong to more than one group at the same time. Groups brainstormed and discussed in class were family, school, our city (Calgary), sports groups like hockey, swimming, dance, and gymnastics, as well, a few students identified Canada and Earth as a group we belong to. Our focus next will be how do these groups benefit us, what can help us identify different groups and communities and what our rights and responsibilities are at home, at school, and in groups and communities.
