Non-Fiction Writing

In language, we will be beginning a new unit on non-fiction writing.  Later this week we will come up with a new learning goal and success criteria. 

How can I help at home:
Have your child write a non-fiction (a true story, based on facts) report on anything they want.  They could write about what they did on the weekend, their favourite sport, their favourite animal, their favourite game.  Non-Fiction writing is real (not make-believe), based on facts and usually explains something.

Below are links to some non-fiction writing.  Check it out!

Fun with Math!

Mrs. Dawson's math group are having fun learning how to measure angles.  The students used pattern blocks to create different angles and measured them with a protractor.  They had a great time!

New Learning Goal for Language

Measuring Angles

The students learned about different types of angles and how to measure them with a protractor.

Sequencing Words

In our language unit, we are learning about sequencing words and how to use them in sentences.  The students were in groups and wrote about their nights.  They all did a great job!

Human Body Project

The students are now working on a project called the Human Body.  They are taking everything they learned in the unit and creating a booklet on the Human Body.
