This week we got up to a lot of Halloween in language and art!
Mrs. B came in to help out with Art and the students had the opportunity to make some very spooky haunted houses! The kids quite enjoyed making the houses and putting some monsters in their houses.
The rest of the week, we began to brainstorm some ways that we can describe our houses and the monsters that lurk in them. We used our 5 senses to begin to identify some words to describe the monsters and houses. Students then either set out to write a descriptive paragraph or begin to pair some of their interesting adjectives with their nouns. As students finish their paragraphs, they begin to edit their writing using a checklist. Students are almost all done!
Health
In Health, we began to learn about the difference or processed and unprocessed foods. We ate some apples and applesauce and described differences between the two. We also read a book about how food is processed. We then looked at some of flyers and cut out foods that would fall into both categories. Next we'll be looking at sugar content in processed foods.
Science
The Grade 4s this week got to work with Mrs. B as they sorted some rocks and minerals and began to identify the differences between them. They also began to chart down what they know and what they would like to learn in the unit.
Field Trip Reminder
A reminder that we have a Field Trip next Tuesday (Oct. 27) and need student's permission slips returned back to school as soon as possible.
Hope that everyone has a great weekend and stays tuned for some fun Halloween themed activities that will be coming out next week!
