Students continued to work on their letters to their pen pals in Campbell River. This is ongoing as we are addressing some key punctuation and sentence-writing skills as we go.
In Library, we learned a little more about the upcoming project with fabric artist Jackie Pendergast. Next week, students will begin creating their own quilt square with a focus on climate change, environmental impact, et cetera.
Students also had some time to continue working on their biome Book Creator project.
After recess and P.E., we went to a quick presentation in the Grade 5/6 room about Friday's Sponsored Silence challenge / fundraiser for Australia's wild fires. Our class will be participating on Friday afternoon, as the Grade 4's will be skiing in the morning.
Following the presentation, students did a "show me what you know" in math using the adjustment strategy. I just looked them over and am quite pleased with their grasp of this challenging way of subtracting.
After lunch, we read Say Something and had a follow-up discussion. Next, I finished reading The Six Cedar Trees (a review for many) and then the students worked on a page for their book / sphere.
That's it for today!
