Calgary is colder than the Arctic, T-Shirt Factories, States of Matter
Art
This week we finished our Winter Trees paintings today and then we had a few extra minutes so we did our best to recreate our art with code.

Calgary is Colder than Iqaluit!
This week we started talking about the Arctic and we also used Google Earth to explore the vast and diverse Arctic. We explored Iqaluit, Cape Dorset, Tuktoyaktuk, and Arviat. You can explore Google Earth at the link below:
States of Matter
We did several experiments, exploring the scientific method and specifically making a Hypothesis. We threw boiling water into very frigid dry air and watched it turn into vapor and then solidify.
We also mixed salt into water to see what would happen n the immediate aftermath, but also to find out what happens over time to that mixture.
We also explored the different states of matter, using water as our guide, but also explored different materials. We learnt that temperature affects states of matter.
Math
T-Shirt Factory - We continued our work with place value. We have been practicing moving groups of tens from the tens place back into ones for a variety of different numbers. We are specifically work on our understanding of place value and regrouping so that we can move into double-digit addition with regrouping. Below is some of our work.
Literacy
Next week we start reading Arctic stories and continue on with our snowy day writing, guided reading, and word work.

2020 is Looking Bright!
We all did a brief 2020 goal setting session. Here is mine.
Home Journals
We sent home our Home Journals again this Friday. Please read your child's Home Journal, write a quick response, and return on Monday. Thanks.
