October 1st-4th
What did students do this week?
The grade fours wrote a paragraph to demonstrate their understanding of wolves' sensory organs. They included a topic sentence, supporting details, concluding sentence, capital letters, descriptive words, end punctuation, and accurate information. They completed a self-assessment and identified what they were most proud of, writing outcomes they feel confident in, and writing outcomes they would like more help with. This task and assessment was sent home in your child's "My Work Folder" so please make sure to have them share it with you!
In Science, students continued to develop their understanding of science outcomes under the topic of "Living Things". Through continued research and learning, they deepened their understanding and then shared it through a Google Slide with a random partner. Each partnership added their slide to create a class slideshow. The students eagerly put their ideas into the slideshow and then presented it to all of the grade fours!
Then, to further engage students, Ms. Harris created an excellent Maker task where students needed to design and create a device that would help humans experience the world like wolves. Throughout this process, students demonstrated problem solving, resilience, scientific inquiry, and collaboration.
Science Learning Outcomes (I can...)
- I can identify the sensory organs of animals.
- I can explain how sensory organs of animals help their survival.
- I can recognize how sensory organs in animals help them meet their needs in various ways.
Possible Questions to Ask Your Child:
- What are the sensory organs?
- How do wolves' eyes help them survive? What about the nose?
- What was your favourite part of creating a Google Slide?
