Nov 17-21

 Literacy:

Students wrote stories using this prompt. This is the first story they have written this year!

Math:

We finished off our coordinate geometry unit. Students made cities maps on a coordinate plane and then created questions for other students to try and answer on their map. 

 

Students also did a Math Show What You Know. 

Social Studies:

We continued learning about ancient civilizations. 

Where were ancient civilizations located on the map? 

What were societies called before civilizations were formed? What were they called after they became civilizations?

How can inventions benefit society? 

Science: 

We learned about the four forces that affect airplanes flying. 

We tried an experiment to show how air moving over the wings of a plane actually help it lift off the ground.

Art:

We started a new print relief art project inspired by Canadian artist Leetia Alivaktuk. Students planned their design and then practiced replicating their art onto a blue piece of paper with white pencil. Next art class we will use carving blocks to make prints for greeting cards. 

Buddies:

We got together with our grade 2 buddies to play math games with them.
