UOI- Territories and Capital Cities

Language

We completed our OWA Pre-Assessment in class today. Students had to write a report on what life would be like without electricity.

Homework: Study spelling words

Math

Modelling Patterns

Learning goal: Students will model patterns and make predictions.

We explored the examples of different sizes of triangles on page 13 of the textbook. We reviewed what a perimeter is and how to count the perimeter of shapes correctly. Students were also given a multiplication chart up to the 12 times table in their math notebooks. Students are to review the multiplication chart regularly at home as in Grade 5, students will be answering questions related to multiplication.

Homework: Page 15 question 3

UOI

Territories and Capital Cities

Learning goal: Students will learn where to label the territories and capital cities of Canada.

Students learned about the differences between a province and territory. Canada has a constitution (Constitution Act of 1982)-- which determines what our official languages are and what our individual rights are. The constitution works together with our system of laws to make up rules of the country. It also indicates what provinces are a part of Canada and what the powers of those provinces are. Whereas territories are created by Federal Law (territories have a bit less power than the provinces). The biggest difference is that the provinces get to vote on changes to the constitution, but the territories do not.

Here are the two songs that students have been listening to in class to help them review:
