Language Arts this week...

Hello everyone!

This week we have been working on catching some pesky mistakes that we find all too often in our writing. We corrected a love letter from Justin Bieber to Selena Gomez and used our handy copy of "Ms.Walker's Pet Peeves" to guide our process. Justin definitely needs our help! I have attached a copy of his love letter for you to see from home.

See if your parents can find all of Justin's little mistakes, too!

Social Studies resources- Atlantic Region fun!

Hello there Explorers! Have you had fun this week on our imaginary journey across Canada and the Atlantic Region? I sure hope so, because I have been loving it! I wanted to provide you with some helpful links and resources that you can review at home, and share with your families too! Here is the link to the song we are learning that tells us all about the Canadian provinces, territories, and their capital cities. It's a pretty fast little song with lots of lyrics, so I know that it takes some practice to remember them all! Not to worry though, you can read along using the printed lyrics I handed out in class, or if you're practicing at home, you can find the song lyrics in the comment section below the Youtube video as well and print an additional copy. I know this song can be a bit tough to memorize, but it's really great because it gives a few key facts about each province that will help paint a picture in your mind about what makes each place unique and special. ...
