Learning Outcomes

Math

Compare and order numbers

Express the relationship between two numbers, using <, > or =



 What Did Students Do?


This week, students continued their learning around place value. Students investigated how to use greater than, less than and equal to symbols while comparing numbers. Ask your child to tell you how the symbols < and > can be understood as balance scales.  This image may help their explanation:


Students also ordered numbers from least to greatest and greatest to least. In small groups and partner groupings, students manipulated number cards in least to greatest order, created mathematical statements using symbols for greater than, less than, equal to, and they played games to build the greater number or identify a number than can be found in between. 








Thank you to all of the families who attended our Meet the Teacher night. It was great to connect with you. I hope you enjoyed seeing the learning that your child has been engaged in. 


Important Info:

Your child has brought home a communication book to share their review quiz with you.

Ask Your Child:

Jan 13 - 17, 2025 Phys-Ed Students analyze and apply strategies and tactics that support improved decision making in physical activities. Students demonstrate how collaboration influences physical activity. What Did Students Do? Students were involved in playing various territorial and invasion games such as Two-Ball, Castle, Tail Tag, and Three Ball. For all of these games, teamwork skills and strategizing was very important. Students needed to collaborate, communicate, and cooperate in order to achieve success. They were involved in kicking, running, throwing, and tagging. Each team needed to focus on defense while defending their territory and offense while invading the territory of the other team. With games such as two-ball there were many things happening all at once so they needed to be alert and aware. Students were engaged and excited to participate. We stopped regularly to evaluate what was working and what we needed to change so students had a voice in how the games progress...

December 9 - 13 ELAL Students enhance the accuracy and artistry of expression through creative and critical thinking processes. Establish a plot, point of view, setting, and problem through creative writing. What Did Students Do?: On Monday and Tuesday, students were given a pre-assessment for narrative writing. Using a picture prompt they wrote a story about the picture. This gave us, as teachers the opportunity to see where our students are at with their writing and what next steps we need to take to further their skills in narrative writing. On Wednesday students examined the elements of a narrative story: beginning, middle, end, problem, solution, character, and setting. Students used graphic organizers to examine the parts of their own story. They then looked at non-examples of written stories and identified the parts that were weak or missing. Students finished the week by annotating the parts in an example of a well written story using different colours for each part.  ...
