Happy Thursday!
Today in LA we completed some more word work with our spelling words. We do not have a spelling test, but will work with certain words each week to help reinforce spelling patterns, rules, and pronunciation cues. We also continued working on writing sentences if we had not finished them this week.
In math, we continued our work on problem solving using patterns.
In Social Studies, we learned about the three levels of government in Canada, and found out what riding we live in for the upcoming federal election. We looked up the names of the candidates in our riding, and talked about all the signs we see on the streets. Tonight, talk to your child about what sort of important issues voters consider during an election (the environment, taking care of older people, hospitals, Covid-19, taking care of families, jobs etc.). I would like the student to be able to think of a question they would ask a candidate based on what is important to them. (Please note - I have not asked students to ask you who you are voting for. We discussed this being a personal, confidential decision)
Reminder: Please return demographic and digital citizenship forms if you have not done so yet.
