We are ending February on a high note at TRS. We had a lot to celebrate this month. Thanks to our grade 3/4 team who led a wonderful assembly for Pink Shirt Day.
Highlights of the Week:
Students represented two important scenes from our read aloud, Barren Grounds by creating detailed visualizations of the main character Morgan facing a challenge. They used evidence from the text to guide their representations and ensure accuracy. Students then wrote clear summaries of each scene, focusing on the most important events and key details. Through this task, students strengthened their visualization and summarizing skills to deepen their comprehension of the novel.
- ELAL – students finished up their news articles earlier this week. They are now homework if incomplete. We also did some work related to our novel study, Barren Grounds where students represented different scenes in their visual journals. Students also practiced their cursive writing skills for a Pink Shirt Day activity where they had to write positive affirmations about themselves.
- Math – We worked through various division related word problems this week. Students also learned how to turn remainders into decimals (this is a grade 6 outcome only). We will be having a check-in next Thursday.
- Science –
- Grade 6 – students were introduced to their new unit – Earth Systems and learned about the differences between weather and climate and the impacts of climate change.
- Grade 5 – students reviewed for their test through a Jeopardy activity and wrote their tests on Thursday. They will begin their new unit next week.
- Social –
- Grade 5 – Students continued their projects on trade and markets.
- Grade 6 – Students continued their projects on election processes for either federal, provincial, or municipal areas.
