Week beginning April 3rd

This week the focus was on writing our stories to be published. The children have been working very hard and enthusiastically! We focused on different ways to start a story, making sure we have at least three events in the story and write using descriptive language (adjectives, adverbs, and similes).  Next we will be editing the first drafts of the stories making sure the correct punctuation, capitalization, interesting words and description has been used.  They will also be working on their  illustrations for their stories.

In Math we looked at pictographs this week.  We learned the symbol being used in the graph should be connected to the data that is being represented and the importance of the value of the symbol being clear.  They interpreted pictographs, matched pictographs to data tables and represented data by creating their own pictographs. Our next topic will be money. We will be completing a project that requires adding and subtracting money.

In Religion this week we prayed the stations of the cross after learning about the stations last week. We also began taking about Palm Sunday and Holy Week.  We will continue to focus on this in depth.

Correction:
In the post last week I wrote that our class trip to the Surrey Nature Center is on June 13th.  This is incorrect.  Our trip is on April 24th. Your child will have brought a permission form home on Friday about this trip.

-Praise and Worship Club every Monday from 3-3:30pm
