Math, Music, Research and Reading - Oct 17

Based on recent work, in Math we are now focusing on building our basic facts knowledge and therefore today we practiced our additions skills. Tomorrow the quiz will be very similar to the sheet we did today.

In Music we continued working on the recorder and are now focusing on getting nice clear sounds out of our recorders and learning to read notes.

After recess we had the Calgary Public Library demonstrate to us all the amazing things we have access to as students for free.  I will be putting up some more details around this.  We, unfortunately, ran into some technical difficulties, so we need to look into this a little bit further to know how to access these resources.

Students can explore the Calgary Public Library Website in the meantime at https://calgarylibrary.ca/

We then took some time to catch up on our French assignments on Raz Kids.  Most of the kids are now up to speed, though some need to keep working on these at home.

In Science, we learned a little bit more about our worms and vermicompostage and we finally started writing down our experiences at Beakerhead in ELA.

The day went by fast but we are looking ahead to another learning filled day tomorrow :).
