This week we used the new tinker cart to make patterns or pictures using the exact same materials as each of our classmates. We saw how we each have a different perspective because our pictures were all so different. In math we reviewed place value and we began to learn how to tell time. We also compared numbers up to 10,000. In science we continued learning about waste and we compared and rated our waste management systems of our households. In social studies we began discovering all the different landforms that we have in Alberta.
We also worked hard on an art project that you will see when you come in to visit our classroom!
Spelling Patterns
Next week we will continue to practice long vowel spelling patterns. Long vowels are vowels that say their own name. Each vowel has several ways to spell the sound. We will focus on the following patterns:
Long a - ai, ay, ei, a-e (a-consonant-silent e)
Long e - ee, ea, ey, ie/ei, e-e (e-consonant-silent e)
Long i - igh, ie, y, i-e (i-consonant-silent e)
Long o - oe, oa, ow, o-e (o-consonant-silent e)
Long u - ue, ew, u-e (u-consonant-silent e)
Some of the words from our word list we will be using to practice the long vowels are:

Reminders:
Library Books - Our library time changed to later in the day on Tuesday. This means that now students don't need to return their library book on Monday, but on Tuesday. If your child wants to renew a book thy should bring it back on Tuesday to get renewed.
Toonies for Terry - Children are asked to donate a toonie to our fundraiser, if possible! Our Terry Fox run fundraiser will be on September 27th at 1:30pm. We will provide more information about this closer to the date.
