We really grew our brains in November
In Language we reviewed and learned these sound friends, we practiced making their sounds, building words and writing about them...
In math we finished our measurement unit and completed our show what we know. We continue to grow our brains about how to represent numbers in different ways- using tally marks, with words, pictures, number sentence, number problems, ten frames or by base 10 blocks. We've been practicing our skip counting, increasing, decreasing pattern and ordering numbers too! We can independently complete Daily Math 3 components; math by myself and math with someone. We have just started our Banana Split math to help us grow our mental math and adding and subtracting brains.
In Science we explored and learned about different kinds of liquids. We had a T-Pet presentation on liquids where we had lots of fun experiments; how dense a liquid is, the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, the three states of matter and we made our very own slushies. We've started to discuss boats and buoyancy we made our own boats and tested to see if they floated or not. We will end the unit with an inquiry project on why water is essential to life.
In social we've been talking about the community we live in. We learned our addresses, what city, province and country we live in. At the end of October we had a presentation on Inuit culture. We learned about where they live, what their landscape is like, what they do for fun, the animals that live there and we created our own soapstone Inukshuk.
We practiced our comprehension reading strategies of retelling a story- specifically the beginning, middle, end, characters, plot and author's message. We've learned all of our Daily 5 choices- read to self, read to someone, listen to reading, word work and work on writing. We've begun our first big writing task about our Flat Stanley Adventures over fall break. Our printing just keeps getting better everyday! We've reviewed our capital letters and have started to learn about lowercase diver letters.

We have been discussing the start of the new liturgical year and how we can prepare our hearts for the birth of Baby Jesus. We've been discussing how each one of us belong and how we can share the Good News with those we meet. In October we researched some different Saints.
