This week was terrific!

In math we learned a new "chunking" strategy for subtracting. This is when you take your first number and then subtract your hundreds, tens and ones. 

In social we wrote a journal entry from the perspective of David Thompson, and started researching different First Nations groups in Alberta. We also visited the Glenbow museum, where we learned about the First Nations and the Newcomers. Here are a few pictures:





























In science, we we learned about lights and shadows. We experimented with reflection and learned what transparent, translucent and opaque means. 

In art, we also made our names into unique pieces of art by using patterns and colours. 

The spelling pattern next week is: when a word ends in y preceded by a consonant, change the y to i before adding an ending, unless adding the ending ing


 worry + es = worries 
dry + ing = drying 
copy + ed = copied 
try + ing = trying

Here are some examples: 
tries 
carried 
worries 
buying 
satisfied 
relying 
denies 
copied 
emptied 
hurrying 
cries 
buries 
multiplied 
replies 
supplied 
drying 
petrified 
frying 
applied 
scurrying

Reminders: 
January 28: report cards are sent home
January 29th: Pink Shirt day

Have a great weekend!
