Tuesday March 22 Homework
Language: Students handed in their final persuasive essay today. These will be marked and given feedback. I will send home a sample of a level 3+ for you to look at.
In Language and Science we will be beginning a new unit called Conservation of Energy. In this unit, students will learn about a variety of renewable and non-renewable energy sources. They will be introduced to the importance of our energy use, and learn ways that everyone can do their part to conserve energy.
In Language they will be focusing on:
1. The reading strategy of asking themselves questions as they read
2. The writing strategy of developing strong voice in their non-fiction writing.
3. The characters of public service announcements
4. Text features such as charts and graphs
Here are some ways you can support your child’s learning at home during this unit:
1. Work together with your child to develop a list of things everyone in your family can do around the home to save energy
2. Talk about what kind of energy you use at home for heat, light, cooking, hot water, and so on.
3. Choose a “green” project to work on together. Such as setting up a composter, organizing recyclables at home or in the community. Planting a garden.
Math: Today we continued with Volume and students were to complete two sheets.
