This Week in Rooms 6 and 13

Hello Parents and Guardians!

This week at school in rooms 6 and 13 we had an awesome time! We learned a lot of cool things:

We learned how to carve soap into polar bears! Everybody thought it was fun. We learned this because we are learning about the Arctic and soapstone carving is an Inuit tradition and job! Did you know they made soapstone toys for children?

We had fluency tests in Math. It was subtraction and addition. Each quiz had 12 questions.

We were learning in Social Studies about natural resources and jobs in the Arctic. Some of the natural resources unique to the Arctic are diamonds, fish, caribou and seals, and soapstone. These create jobs including diamond mining, fishing, hunting, and carving.

All of us worked on a hip-hop dance with Zam from Sound Kreations. We are excited to show you this dance at the Celebration of Learning later this month.

We played a class soccer game outside and it was epic! There were lots of kids but we were all kind and respectful!

In the Learning Commons, we used materials to make a rock float on water. We did an egg experiment. In tap water, the egg sunk and in salt water the egg floated!

In Music, we are learning our Music Monday songs.

Thank you for reading our blog!
