This week in math, students explored factors, multiples, prime and composite numbers, and worked on finding the greatest common factor between two numbers under 100. A strong understanding of basic multiplication facts, as well as confidence with long division, continues to help support student success with these concepts.

To wrap up the week, students worked together in teams to play a Jeopardy-style review game. It was great to see students collaborating, discussing strategies, and learning from one another while having fun!

This week, our class had an exciting opportunity to work with Trickster Theatre as we explored the province of New Brunswick through drama and movement. Students learned how to work together using bamboo poles as part of the performance, practicing coordination, timing, and teamwork. As part of the process, students helped create the title of our show, “Fundy Fight,” inspired by the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy and the stories we explored about the province. It was wonderful to watch students collaborate, share ideas, and bring their learning to life on stage. Everyone did a fantastic job creating and performing, showing creativity, confidence, and teamwork throughout the week. Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and support the show on Thursday night . The students were so proud to share their hard work with you! 🎭

This week, students have been learning about how Canada became a country by exploring different perspectives from the past. Using loose parts, students worked in groups to build models that represented the wants, concerns, and viewpoints of French settlers, British officials, Indigenous Nations, and British merchants. After building, a photo was taken of their creations, and they reflected on what each part represented and why. This activity helped them think deeply about how different groups experienced historical events and how those perspectives influenced the development of early Canada. I can demonstrate an understanding of how Canada became a country by reflecting on various events from the past.
