Science Math and Social Studies!
This week, we have been wrapping up our math and science concepts of area. We combine these concepts with our study of local landmarks in social studies. Students created a list of local businesses and buildings, then, using basic supplies, created these buildings and placed them on a simple map. After using a cube as non-stardard unit of measure, students measured the surface area of their building and compared it to their partners. It was a create project full of rich learning and conversations! Take a look below
Learning intentions
- I can explore and use different materials (like paper and cardboard) to build models.
- I can create a model of a local landmark using simple tools and materials.
- can identify important places in my community (e.g., school, park, library).
- I can compare the size of surfaces using words like bigger, smaller, and same.
- I can measure and compare surface areas using non-standard units (e.g., tiles, squares).
- I can plan and build a model step by step.
- I can share my ideas and explain my work to others.
- I can work carefully and safely with materials.
- I can compare my work with others and notice similarities and differences.
Literacy
This week, we wrapped up our learning of consonant digraphs and began looking at long vowel sounds. Below is some home practice.
