A copy of this letter has been sent home with your child. Please return it to me and I will pass it along to Mrs. Haag.
Inquiry into Language:
Today we read chapter 7- 9 of Anne of Green Gables in class. Next week we will be discussing what happened in each chapter. The class was given a worksheet to help them generate questions about the novel and to make predictions on what is to come.
We also wrote our Lesson 2 Spelling tests. Please review your child's test and have them correctly spell and misspelled words on their test 10 times each.
We also wrote our Lesson 2 Spelling tests. Please review your child's test and have them correctly spell and misspelled words on their test 10 times each.
Spelling procedures are as follows:
1. Copy your spelling words into your agendas in cursive
2. Define your bonus words
3. Complete spelling lesson activities
4. Hand in completed spelling activities on Wednesdays
5. Study for spelling tests nightly
How do I know if I know my spelling words? Well, can you use them in a sentence? Can you define the word to someone else? Do you know other words that have the same meanings (synonyms)? Do you know words that mean the opposite?
Unit of Inquiry:
The Class also wrote their map re-test today. Quiz scores will be sent home on Monday.
The kids continued to discover the Canadian Shield and the Hudson's Bay Lowlands and moved on to the St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Appalachians, and the Arctic. Ask your child to tell you a few things that they know about each region: physical features, animal life, vegetation, climate, and natural resources.
Once the class has learned all they can about Canada's physical regions, they will be creating a 3D map of each region using the information they learned over the past week. This activity will begin on Monday.
