Religion: We are learning:
- How we can try to do better to prepare ourselves for Christmas
- To help one another be better during the season of Advent
- About the importance of Mary saying “yes” to God
Using Knowledge of Form and Style in Writing
- write short texts using a few simple forms ( “How to”books identifying the steps in a procedure such as “How to Make Applesauce”, including pictures, symbols, and words; a story modelled on characters and events from stories read (a retell)).
- begin to establish a personal voice in their writing by using pictures and words that convey their attitude or feeling towards the subject or audience (e.g., use pictures and words that project interest or enthusiasm)
- use familiar words and phrases to convey a clear meaning (e.g., some simple, familiar descriptive adjectives of size, feeling, or colour: The black dog was happy.)
- write simple but complete sentences that make sense
- identify elements of their writing that need improvement, including content, organization, and style, using feedback from the teacher and peers Teacher prompts: “Does this writing make sense to you?” “Does it say what you wanted to say?”
Media Literacy
- express personal thoughts and feelings about some simple media works (e.g., state whether they like or dislike a character in a cartoon, song, or movie; draw a picture of the character in a song)
Probability:
- describe the likelihood that everyday events will occur, using mathematical language (i.e., impossible, unlikely, less likely, more likely, certain)
- estimate, measure, and describe the capacity and/or mass of an object, through investigation using non-standard units (e.g.,“My journal has the same mass as 13 pencils.”“The juice can has the same capacity as 4 pop cans.”);
- name the months of the year in order, and read the date on a calendar
Algebra
- demonstrate examples of equality, through investigation, using a “balance” model (Sample problem: Demonstrate, using a pan balance, that a train of 7 attached cubes on one side balances a train of 3 cubes and a train of 4 cubes on the other side.)
- determine, through investigation using a “balance” model and whole numbers to 10, the number of identical objects that must be added or subtracted to establish equality (Sample problem: On a pan balance, 5 cubes are placed on the left side and 8 cubes are placed on the right side. How many cubes should you take off the right side so that both sides balance?).
