Reading Buddies
We are working closely with the Grade ones on teaching them how to retell a story. After reading a couple pages from the book they have selected, students are to stop and ask their reading buddies what happened on those pages.

Unit of Inquiry
We watched a video called "Henry Settles in Upper Canada." In this video, students learned about the different shops and buildings that existed in the Pioneer village. As a class, we brainstormed a list of adjectives that described Henry's journey to Upper Canada. In addition to this, we brainstormed the buildings Henry passed when he went in to town. 
After this, students watched another video called "Homesteading on the Prairies." In this video, they were exposed to the materials that Pioneers used to build houses, and what existed around their house. It also explained the importance of a water well. 

Inquiry into Math
Students worked on their math review during our math period today. We will be taking it up tomorrow, to prepare us for the test coming up on Monday. Tomorrow will be the day students can come to me with questions regarding concepts they are still having trouble with. Below are some images of the number lines students had to solve and how to round a number to the nearest ten, hundred and thousand, as we went through the process together.
