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:
