This week we had a wonderful time planning and preparing for our Food Drive. Learners created posters to help tell others in the school about the Food Drive they are running to help people in our community. All donations will be donated to CrossNet. In reading, we have been talking about informational texts and we have been writing our own information writing about an animal of our choice. Learners have researched an animal that they wanted to learn more about and they are beginning to write their informational books. In math, we are continuing to work on addition and subtraction with regrouping. Our focus has currently been on solving subtraction with regrouping problems. We will be taking our end of Unit math assessment before the holiday break.

This week we have been talking about Economics. After talking about needs and wants, learners determined what they think our community needs over the holiday season. Over the next few weeks, we will continue talking about economics and how we can help our community members who are in need during the holidays. In reading, we are talking about information books again with a focus on how graphic representation in text can help readers learn more about a topic. Learners are also beginning to write informational books about an animal of their choosing. In math, we are practicing addition and subtraction with 2 digit numbers. We will continue talking about the concepts of borrowing and regrouping.
