Journaling & the editing process. From now on we will always be editing our writing and then creating good copies from those edited pieces.

Today we wrote about our Winter breaks!

We will also be working on Charlie and the chocolate factory and using it to support writing about settings.

Math:
Addition all week!
We are practicing writing our numbers on top of each other and regrouping an extra ten. This skill will take us a few weeks.
We introduced this skill today using 2 by 1 digit numbers practicing carrying the ten above the tens place.

Science
No science today.
This week we will be starting hot and cold temperatures.

Social
Finishing up our exploration of the prairies. Focusing on the language of the Ukrainians and services provided in the provinces. I am hoping to start a project by the end of the week or next week to wrap up our unit.

Today we looked at the flags of Saskatchewan and Ukraine. I waited until now to show them the flag as a way to remind them of the significance of the forests and wheat fields of the prairies. This also ties in the main jobs and services provided as well.

We also compared the symbolism of the yellow parts of the flags relating to wheat and farming.

Have a great day everyone!
