This week in Inquiry we have been learning about the impact of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) on the First Nations people. We learned how the CPR hired people to hunt the bison and explored how this impacted the First Nations way of life. Ask me about how the CPR impacted the First Nations people.
This week in science we have also started our magnet unit and brainstormed what we already know, how magnets are important in our world and what we wonder about magnets. Ask me about what I wonder about magnets.
This week in writing we began to learn about how/procedural writing. We have been thinking about the different procedural or action words that will help us write clear instructions. Ask me about the different parts of procedural writing and what I have written about this week.
1) Family Recipe: Information was sent home on Dec 12th. Please discuss with your child a recipe that they could bring in by Dec 21st to share with the class.
2) Spirit Week: is next week.
3) Circle Magnets needed: If you have any circle magnets at home, the grade 2 students would really appreciate it if we could borrow them next week. Please just send them in with your name on them.
