Here is our brainstorming for student Home Journals so that you can have deeper conversations about the learning from last week:
Questions you can ask to spark their understanding about waste in our world include:
How is nature's waste different from human waste?
Why is nature the best recycler?
Why is waste in nature biodegradable?
How is decomposition connected to photosynthesis?
We are working really hard to build a deep understanding of our vocabulary words in science. To do this we are using a thinking tool/graphic organizer called a Frayer model. Here is an example that we completed together in class. Students will be completing their own frayer models on the following words: decomposers, landfill, reuse, and recycle.
This is the math problem of the week (sporty solutions - data analysis) with our strategies for solving it. We are working on adding to subtract using number lines and benchmark numbers. You can see that skip counting on a number line allows us to make connections to multiplication.
Please remember that we have our class D2L shell to explore and extend your conversations at home. Every Sunday I will be putting in a task for you to do over the coming week. Here is the link to sign into our shell: https://d2l.cbe.ab.ca/d2l/loginh/
On Wednesday, November 8th we have our virtual field trip with the Royal Tyrrell museum at 8:45 in our classroom. This is a video field trip where we link to them through the smart board. We will be doing a program called Secrets of the Lost Quarry. http://www.tyrrellmuseum.com/programs/distance/secrets_of_the_lost_quarry.htm
students will be able to use their collaboration, critical thinking and communication skills for this exciting adventure.
