We had quite a busy day as we continued with the lessons we've learned today as extensions from the day before.
Math:
Patterns can be found everywhere- in our daily routines, in what we wear, in music, and in numbers! Today we plotted the number of lengths and widths of the various rectangles and we had a review on the meaning of the word 'perimeter.' We looked at patterns in each given graph from the math text and we were able to find the 10th term, 20th term, etc. altogether as a class. As you drive home tonight, I encourage you to have a conversation with your child about patterns- at the grocery store, in the library, at home. How many patterns can they recognize? Are they growing, shrinking or repeating patterns? What do they notice?
Unit of Inquiry:
We learned about the 10 provinces, their capital cities and the 3 territories of Canada. We labelled the map of Canada and finished the Word Search puzzle containing all of the different provinces and cities. Your child has made a postcard for you to discuss with them tonight and I encourage you to have a conversation with them about their "wonder" of Canada which I have asked them to write down in their postcard.

Daily 5:
The students used this time to fill out their "When I Grow Up" sheet which asks them to write down their dream job and a drawing of it. We will be posting these on our Bulletin Board outside for all of the parents to see!

Language:
The students received their Novel Study package on Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Montgomery which they have put into their Language folder. The students have then answered the questions pertaining to the first Chapter of the novel and we were able to review together the events that occurred in the beginning.
