Rocks and Minerals and The Rights of the Child

Hello everyone!

We had a short week of school, but that didn't stop us from doing lots of learning!

First, we started learning about the Rights of the Child. The rights were created so that every child in the world is happy, healthy and safe. There are some kids in the world that do not have their rights met (no healthy food, no clean water, no shelter, pollution in the air), so UNICEF is an organization that tries to help them. Then, each of us got a right that we are illustrating. Next week we are going to turn our pictures in water colour artwork.

Second, we started a new science unit called, Rocks and Minerals. We began working as junior geologists and we explored different kinds of rocks! Here are some things we noticed.
-"Some are shiny." - D
-"Some were glittery." - T
-"Some are dirty." -G
-"We noticed that the top of one rock was smooth and the bottom was rough." -K
-"I noticed that some rocks are see through." -E
-"I noticed that some rocks were different shapes." -G





Lastly, in math we worked on place value! We learned how to represent numbers in different forms such as expanded form, standard form, word form, and base 10 blocks. Here are some pictures of our learning.


Remember, Monday is a PD Day! Enjoy the long weekend!
