Monday - December 10, 2018

Weekly Schedule
We started our week with new learning challenges! This is our roadmap for this week:


Ask your child what they were able to complete today!
If you your child was away, please find the details about our weekly tasks here (Note: we haven't started all tasks in this link, yet).

Today start working on:

  • Word Work
  • Reading Practice
  • Grammar Lesson: Conjunctions
  • Math | Problem of the Week
  • Science: Erosion and Soil Experiment
  • Science: Daily Observations
  • Alberta's Natural Regions Comparative (started last week)
  • French (Grade 4): Comic story based on a list of greeting and introduction sentences in French

Science
Today we learn about erosion and developed a class experiment about water erosion. 
We discovered why erosion occurs more slowly when soil is paired with leaf debris or plants.


We also watched a video explaining the importance of roots in this process.


Finally, we watched a video about wind erosion and how planting many diverse crops in the same ground can help balance out soil use.
