October 16th –Oct. 20^th

 ​Dear Families,

 What we are learning:

 The students have began writing personal narratives this week. We have been reviewing the ‘Four W’s’ (who, what, where, when). Next week we will be focusing on a strong lead and how to catch the readers attention! During math we have began our unit on numbers to 1000 and have been reviewing many concepts to help with our addition facts. The students have also been journaling during math and have been doing an excellent job using pictures, numbers and words to solve problems and tell math stories. This was our first week being introduced to New Brunswick during social studies. We have looked at and compared maps of The World, Canada and New Brunswick to help get a sense of just how small our province is! We will be alternating week to week between science and social studies. This week we will continue learning about soils during science class.
