- learned the new heart words: 'by', 'my', 'does' and 'goes'
- drew a picture of things we can do in the snow and then we wrote sentences beginning with "I can..." and "I like to..."
- learned how to use a given 'pattern core' to make a pattern and practiced how to identify the pattern core in patterns.
- created different representations of patterns. Make a pattern at home and as your child to show you a different representation of it.
- rotated through a variety of different patterning math stations to practice all the skills we have learned
- discovered that some animals migrate or get ready to hibernate in the fall. Ask your child to name a few animals that migrate or get ready to hibernate.
- learned the difference between natural features and constructed landmarks in our community
- spent some time outside with our grade 4 buddies building and using our imagination in the snow!
- made a cup of hot chocolate to 'warm up' after a fun time outside in the snow using pastels and chalk.
