Our literacy focus this week is developing strong reading strategies. In grammar, we will be learning about present and past participles and identifying irregular verbs. Math: We will focus a lot of practice in adding and subtracting 4-digit numbers. Our Math-builder program will be added onto our regular program to provide additional practice skills. Social Studies: We will do a general study of Canada’s First Nations –their culture, traditions, creation stories, government, and way of living. Science: We will be working in groups and creating a digestive system model out of recyclable materials. Arts: We will study Piet Mondrian’s style of art and create a reflection of his artwork using our own names.
