We had a great first day back after the long weekend! Over the next week we will be introduced to the four countries we will be studying this year in Social Studies. We jumped in today by looking at one of the countries, India. We were amazed at what we saw when we looked at the street view on google maps! We compared and contrasted some of the differences and similarities we noticed between India and Canada. We also had a chance to explore some books about India and learn a little bit about the country.
We also talked about different and exciting ways to begin a story. We learned there are four exciting ways to start a story, and today we focused on writing stories that start with a worry or a wonder. Students were given a picture prompt and wrote a detailed story beginning that included a worry or wonder. They are amazing and hooked our readers and made us want to read more!
There will be a spelling test on Friday with your child’s words from last week.
Pictures were also sent home with students today for those of you who ordered them.
Have a wonderful evening!
