This week students will see the culmination of our addition/subtraction to 18 unit in Math. Students will finish off the unit by meeting one-on-one with me for a math interview.


In Social Studies we continued to look at Iqlauit. There are so many exciting things about the Far North! Students learned that Inuit live by the "golden rule" and that this applies not only to other people, but also to animals and nature. We learned about Inuit art, culture and also music. It was neat to watch as a man carved a soapstone polar bear and also listen to throat singing and watch drum dancing. The culture of the North is rich, and beautiful!

Today in Health we discussed proper use of medicine. Students brainstormed times when they have required medication (i.e.: flu, cold, stomach ache, broken bone, eye infection). We then discussed what rules should be followed when taking medicine (1. Take the correct amount, 2. Take it at the right time, 3. Only take medicine given to you by a parent).

In Math we played a very fun game of "Doubles +1". It is a dice game that can easily be played at home. Please feel free to send a note in your child's agenda or an email if you would like a board for at home.
