April's Book Report Project

In ELA we have moved onto a new unit that pertains to messages and communication. To go along with the unit the book report is focused around generating an important, eye-catching message on a t-shirt.

We have been reading stories and poems that have messages in them and discussing what makes an ad grab our attention. Here is what the students came up with:

We have discussed the book report in class and it is due on APRIL 30th in which the students will be presenting their t-shirts to the class. A letter went home in your child's agenda regarding the assignment.

Bringing experiences into the classroom

In social studies we have been learning about agriculture in Saskatchewan and how farming techniques have developed over the years from when the settlers started farming in SK to what is currently happening. We have talked much about the different types of grains farmed and the tools and machinary used. To wrap up the social outcomes RW4.1 and RW4.2 we had the opportunity to listen to Nicole Davis from Daybreak Mills explain the process that occurs at their farm for prodcing flour.

She explained everything to the kids from the parts of a wheat kernel to how they plant and harvest it to how a mill works to create flour. She brought along a couple kinds of seeds for the students to examine. We planted wheat and flax and will monitor the growth of the plants over the next couple of weeks. She also brought in a counter top mill and had the kids mill their own flour in which we then used to make bread! The activity was engaging for the students and they were full of questions. The baking of bread was a great way to work on our latest math concept as well - fractions!

We wrapped up the day by eating warm slices of bread with butter and jam! A great way to end a fun learning experience and a Friday.

We will now be working on a wiki space project online to wrap up this unit on agriculture. Once we get into the full swing of things I will post the link on the blog for it!
