Instagram project

The class has been busy working on a project featuring Instagram posts of the various physical regions in Canada. After researching, they drew a picture that epitomizes the region. Then they wrote a description of the region including a reason to visit the particular tourist attraction. Students are working hard to ensure their writing contains descriptive words rather than a list of features. 

In Health, we are learning about the impact of alcohol on the brain. After some discussion, students came up with ways to say "no" to underage drinking. Each child is in the process of writing an autobiography. They interviewed a parent or family member to find out more about their birth and have begun writing their personal story. Next week, the children will start on their early years. In Math, the class is acquiring strategies to memorize multiplication facts. They are practicing their facts through games and songs. This week we reviewed the process to multiply 2-digits by 1-digit. Students are encouraged to memorize facts up to 9 x 9 to make solving multiplication and division problems much easier.
