Pioneer Village was Awesome!

Our trip to Pioneer Village was great! It was so interesting to see all of the different kinds of toys and traditions of the time. Thank you again to our parent volunteers! You were both a great help!

For this weekend, try and think about how pioneer communities are similar or different from your own community. Talk with your parents and share your ideas. When you're done that, make sure you know the parts of the globe that we studied:

• Hemisphere


• Northern Hemisphere
  
• Southern Hemisphere


• North Pole


• South Pole


• Equator

Make sure you also know your continents and where they are on a map too:

• North America


• South America


• Europe


• Antarctica


• Australia


• Asia


• Africa

Here's a map with all of the continents in different colours. Try and figure out which ones are which.

Our math test on measurement will be on Monday. Since we arrived back at school a little early, I had you complete your math review at school for extra studying time. I hope you all remembered to bring home your sheets so that you could study on the weekend as well. Here are a couple of links to measurement games we have already played in class. You can use these to help you study too:

Measuring Centimetres

Adam Ant

Remember, you need to know the following to do well on your math test:

• When we should use centimetres and when we should use metres.


• How to measure centimetres using a ruler (remember to start at zero).


• How to find the perimeter of a shape (add up all of the sides).

If you know how to do all of these things, then you will be just fine on Monday.

For language we are still working on determining important ideas in a text. Try reading your favourite book at home with your parents and figure out what the main idea is (what is the author trying to teach you).

That's all for now! Have a great weekend!
