Highlights
This week we have been busy researching Arctic animals and putting our findings into Google slides.

In Language Arts, we started to learn about how and why stories.  In February, author Cathy Beveridge will be working with us to create our own how and why type stories.

On Wednesday, we participated in a mobile escape room activity.  Students had to problem solve and work together to complete puzzles and challenges before a set time limit.

In Math, we have talked about different strategies for subtracting numbers.
1.      Count back.  8-2=  (start at 8 and count backwards 2)
2.      Count up.  12-9=  (start at 9 and count up to 12)
3.     Use knowledge of addition.  7+7=14, so 14-7=7

We read the novel “Hour of the Olympics.”

We finished our floor hockey unit in Gym class.
