Class Update - October 6th

 Hola familias,

This week, we practice gratitude as a mindfulness exercise o cultivate appreciation for life's small delights. We filled out two gratitude jars!

The Week in Review

• ELAL – We completed the first 8 chapters of the novel Amal Unbound by Aisha Saaed, made cultural connections by learning about Pakistani poet, Allama Iqbal.
• Math – We are reviewing estimation of sums using front-end rounding and compensation strategies. 
• Social Studies – We are examining critically the physical features of Canada. Students are researching about the landforms of a region and will produce a Travel Brochure to attract tourists to the assigned region.
• Science – We learnt about the different layers of the atmosphere, density and convection currents in the air  in a room. We consolidate learning by doing a very brief experiment. Ask your child about it! They were introduced to making predictions and test their hypothesis. 
• Spanish – We are reviewing adjectives to describe your favourite animal.
