We brainstormed all the things that we think we know about Rocks and Minerals as an introduction to our new science unit, Rocks and Minerals. We then had a look at some books with a partner looking for some interesting facts. Everyone will need to have their own personal rock by Wednesday next week. (October 17)Their rock should tell a story i.e.; I found my rock in the Kananaskis River. It has a hole in it. My rock was made smooth by the water of the river.
We continued with our Making Words activity - we found that the English language has many words that sound the same but a spelled differently i.e. sew/so and sore/soar Even with the few letters we have to work with. It's no wonder this is such a difficult language to learn!
We were at the library today so everyone should have new materials to read for 20/10 tonight. Students do not have to wait until Wednesday to get new library materials. If you find they finished with their books send them back to school and your student will get downstairs for new books.
Check the yellow important papers folder for school photos.
