Thank you to everyone for connecting for our online Parent/Teacher Conferences. It was wonderful to meet everyone and discuss the amazing things your children have been working on this year. If you have additional questions or concerns, please reach out via email.
This week we officially moved on from Small Flying and Crawling Animals and onto Magnets. Students had fun exploring with different materials to discover which objects were magnetic and which were not. By the end of the exploration they concluded that metallic objects are magnetic and nonmetallic objects are not magnetic. Then, we moved on to learning about the poles on magnets and how opposites attract and the same sides repel!
In Social Studies, we have been learning about Inuit culture. People who live in Iqaluit, the Inuit, build Inuksuks to send messages, navigate, and point toward hunting and fishing areas. They also use Quilliqs (seal oil lamps) as part of their traditional ceremonies.
They have been practicing adding details to their writing while remaining on topic. As we have been reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we have used some opportunities to write about the book!
