Math

In Math this week, we've continued to look at skip counting by 10's. We even had a chance to count out how many seeds were in our pumpkin. Student's had a variety of guesses, anywhere from 50 to 300.. but it turns out we had a whopping 672!! See our display where students grouped them into groups of 10 to count out!



Science

This week in Science we've been looking at safety rules around hot temperature items around the house like stoves, fireplaces, etc. Students created a safety poster in their visual journals.




Social Studies

This week in Social Studies, we've continued to look at important community members. Carol Henke,  a firefighter with the Calgary Fire Department, came out and spoke to our class about the important and diverse roles the fire department plays in keeping our communities safe and caring.
