This past week, students began editing their Camp NaNoWriMo stories - we'll wrap this up next week. It's been a long process, but it's been so fun! In Social, they created an "Immigration Poster" advertising modern day Alberta. We also had a visit from a group of U of L students who have partnered with our class to develop a Virtual Reality experience (and it included a (virtual) visit with Miss B, our student teacher from the fall, who is part of the group)!
Some notes on our Learning this week:
Writing
Finish editing Camp NaNoWriMo stories by looking for complete sentences and using the COPS (capitalization, organization, punctuation, spelling) method and making the changes on their digital copies
Reading
Collaborative Literacy Groups
Begin our final book clubs
Math
Buckle down for the final push. Many students are working towards the advanced level skills and understandings from our grade 4 math program. Others are continuing to work towards mastering the foundational and intermediate level outcomes.
Social Studies
Continue our Settlers of Alberta (part 2) unit. This section focuses on the impact British settlers ands structures had on the development of Alberta as a province.
