Inquiry
In inquiry we have been working on understanding the relationships between endangered animals and humans. Students have studied animal life cycles, the biosphere, and taken on the different roles of interested parties in order to gain perspective. Students then used their understandings to create an elephant reserve in order to protect elephants from poaching, habitat loss, and pollution. 
 




Math

In math we have been continuing to work on multi-step word problems around multiplication and division. As well we have been studying shapes and space. Before building their elephant enclosures, students had to design and measure out the perimeter of their enclosures. 








Literacy


In literacy students have been reading a series of articles about endangered animals and the impacts of human activities on those animals. Students have then been discussing and role-playing based on their understandings. 





Art


In art we have just finished our paintings of the Andes and they are breath taking. 






Secret of the Andes


We just finished our novel "The Secret of the Andes" ask your child what they thought the message or theme of the novel was. What did the book want them to understand about the real world?
