Welcome back, hope you enjoyed your long weekend.
This morning, after Daily 5, we looked at our new word wall words. We noticed that there are many word families and other similarities within the 2 lists. The word families are - ix, en, op, and ox. There are also 2 words, from group b, that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings, ask me to point out which 2 words they are.
Next week marks another 10 weeks of words learned, so that means we will be studying 50 words again.
Below are the words for this week.
Group A: top, stop, men, hen, pen, fix, mix, six, fox, box
Group B: place, make, making, help, here, want, nice, to, two, into
After Phys Ed Ms. Coker was with us. With her we finished up writing sentences using our word wall words, then she read us a story.
For the last hour of the morning we did research on elephants! We got to choose whether or not we wanted to work with a partner. There were also 2 different papers with specific questions dictating what information we needed to find about elephants. Half of us got to work on the Ipad while the other half looked through books. Don't worry, we will all get a chance with the Ipads and books.
Ask me why we are doing research on elephants...
Following lunch we had time to read to ourselves. Mrs. G. noticed that some of us are doing extra work and reading the books on elephants.
We are continuing to learn about the prairies in Social Studies. So far, we have learned about the prairie province of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, today, we started to focus on our very own province, Alberta!
So far, we have learned that Alberta has 6 different land regions across it. Today, we focused on 3 of the 6 regions they were the Grasslands, Rocky Mountains, and Foothills. Ask we to tell you 2 pieces of information about each region!

-Only a week and a half left to donate to mens health awareness and vote for the worst mustache. Competition between Mr. Hebert, Mr. Sadawski, and Mr. Shackleton
