📚 Learning Updates

We are continuing to learn all about increasing and decreasing number patterns. Daily problem solving explorations and basic math facts practice remain ongoing priorities as well. Check out Learn Alberta's Math 3 Under the Sea website for some review games to try at home!

🌏 Social Studies
We have wrapped up our study of Peru. Students enjoyed learning all about Peruvian culture and celebrations! We created travel brochures and designed postcards to our families detailing our new knowledge of Peru.
The next country we will be studying is India in the new year!
👂 Science
We will be starting to learn all about hearing and sound! Student will be engaging in hands on experiments to study what sound is, how it travels, and how ears work.
