Teacher’s corner:
Math: Students continue practising
the strategies of long division. They are working on exercises and problem
solving using math book. Students that have finished and have corrected their
work, have started on a problem solving booklet.
Social studies: Students started presenting where
their families/ ancestors immigrated from to Canada. We put a pin in a map to
indicate the country or, in most cases, multiple countries where students’
families have come from. The places listed so far are England, Scotland,
Ireland, Wales, Norway, Finland, France, Venezuela, Azerbaijan, Russia,
Germany, Check Republic, Rumania, Italy, Ukraine.
Science: Today we watched a short video explaining
what carbon and carbon dioxide are and where they can be found. We conducted
and experiment with baking soda, vinegar and a candle to see how CO2 forms and
what happens to the lit candle when CO2 is near it.
Students
discussed if it was a chemical or physical change and why; as well as whether
it was a reversible or irreversible change and why.
