This week we used the book Rosie's walk to create a map of the farmyard. Using this map, we've worked in small groups to create a new story, using descriptors like over, under, through, around, across, etc. Student's decorated a big map of the farmyard with the characters for a project we're going to be working on next week... stay tuned!
Math
This week we've been looking at addition and the skills we use in solving addition sentences. We've looked at following: finding solutions in our head (either by picturing it, or having committed a known fact to memory), using our fingers to count on from a number, using a number line or using a 100-square help us with adding.
Science
This week in Science, we've wrapped up our unit on Magnetism with some centre work. Our next focus in Science will be on Building Things and we'll be doing some Science work within Social Studies... stay tuned!
Social Studies
This week we've continued to look at mapping skills. Student's used a schematic of Rosemont School to label and create symbols (with a key) to create a map of our school.
