May 20-24, 2024

 Our learning in English Language Arts & Literature:

• We learned how to read words with the suffix -le this week! These are words like turtle, humble, and apple!
• We continued researching rabbits. This week we focused on the rabbit's habitat and predators, and sketched the parts of a rabbit with labels!

Our learning in Math:

• We started learning about subtraction this week! We learned about how to put the bigger number first and how to use different strategies to help us solve the questions.

Our learning in Science:

• We started learning about the needs of plants and animals this week! 
• We focused on what are living things and non-living things are and how to sort them. This started some really interesting conversations!
• We began germinating pea seeds to see how they grow.
• We looked at the parts of a sunflower, labelled important parts of the plant, and learned why these parts are important!
• We went outside with magnifying glasses to explore nature!

Our learning in Social Studies:

• We had so much fun learning about each other's cultures and families this week! Thank you to those who shared with clothing and others who took the time to work on their family presentation! We'll continue to finish the projects next week. 
• We took time today to place where we are from on a school map. It is so cool to see how diverse our school is!
