We have a full week ahead of us. With a few activities already on the go, along with one or two new things to be introduced, we'll be busy. Here's the plan:
Writing: Last week, you began creating characters; ones you might (or might not) use in your story-writing this month. The Halloween story will roll out over the next few writing sessions. We'll build your setting, add a limited number of characters, and map out the plot for a simple, spooky story.
Science: You'll finish the "learning lab" that you began last week before we dive a little deeper into the role and importance of staying hydrated.
Math: Having explored a handful of subtraction ideas and strategies, let's work towards your first quizzy. These happen a handful of times each term. And, while they do make up a portion of my assessment of your progress, they are not the only way for you to show what you know. My goal for all of you is to have many opportunities to demonstrate proficiency. So, do the best as you can on this quizzy. Bring your "can-do" attitude. Show your thinking. Do your best to be independent, yet ask a question if you need to. But if you are off your game, or haven't mastered a skill yet, don't worry. There will be other chances to show your learning. Before the end of the week, we'll get into practicing those pesky multiplication facts.
Social Studies: BC's Provincial election is coming up in under two weeks. We'll look at the parties that are vying for our votes, and the platforms upon which they stand.
Have a great week, everyone!
