Giving Directions

Hi everyone,

Our new unit has been talking about the need for signs and symbols in our daily life. Signs and symbols help us communicate without the use of words.Without them our life would be a total mess!

Here are some interesting online exercises to help you become an expert in reading signs, maps and giving directions when necessary.

Have fun!

Hugs,

Ms Taty

living things into 5 different kingdoms.

So here is the link to the video we saw in class this week.

Planet's Research

Hi everyone, 

Here are the guidelines and information about our next project.

READY... SET... BLAST OFF!

This is a big project. You will work both at home and in the school. You will be working individually and in groups.

First things first...

1- You'll take home today (Friday - October 07th., 2016) an inquiry worksheet.

2- You'll choose a planet of the Solar System to research about.

3- You'll fill out your inquiry form using as much information as possible about the planet you chose. 

4- Please bring your inquiry page back to class next Monday (Oct. 10th., 2016).

Next steps...

Later, in class, we'll be sharing our findings in small groups.

Finally, each group will prepare posters about one of the eight planets to present to our friends.

As a class, everyone will also be compiling the details of each of the planets to make a comparative analysis of the planets in our solar system later on. 

So... Are you ready?

Here are some helpful links to you:

Our Families Heirlooms... 

(Relíquias de Família)

Dear Kids,

Families are very important, as well as some special items that families have shared through many generations, the so called heirlooms.

Heirlooms may be very simple as an old copy of a cooking notebook of your dad's grandmother, or as complex as an old watch your mom's great granddad used to wear a long time ago!

So, it's time to bring your family's heirlooms to class, to show everyone how special these items may be to you and your beloved ones. 

We'll be talking about them the entire week, so ask your parents to help you discover, and share, this so valuable objects with your school friends.

To get you inspired, here is a great link to Joakim Blockstrom's project (a famous photographer)  about heirlooms.

See you in class then!

Have fun inquiring about the past!
