HOW TO STUDY

·      Use information provided by your teacher as well as your work in your visual journal.

·      Study for shorter periods over more days rather than “cramming” a large amount of study time into a day or two.  Break down  information into smaller pieces that can be reviewed a little each day.

·      Take breaks while studying.  Many students find that they need a break after 30 minutes of studying.  You can study up to 50 minutes at a time but longer than that without a break is not recommended, as overstimulating the brain with too much information actually slows down memory.

·      Review material actively rather than passively. 
o   Place the material you are studying in front of you.  Then, on another piece of paper, extract and record key ideas and information.  You can make diagrams, or write jot notes.

o   Consider studying with a friend or two, or a parent.  Discussing key points s is another way to “actively encode” material.

o   As the test approaches, you can  make flashcards for any definitions or information that you are unsure of.

o   As a final review, condense all study information onto one page! (you can use both sides if you really need to.)  This will encourage you to weed out information you don’t need and you will also have a portable study sheet. J

Learning About Leaves Through Art

Image
  Students in Room 3 are learning that one of the main ways they can identify a tree is through its leaves, whether it be leaf shape, leaf margin, leaf type or leaf arrangement.  In addition to honing their drawing skills through careful and close observation, students are becoming more experienced using different media, including sharpie, watercolor pencil, watercolors, and chalk pastel.  Here are some examples of student work.

It's May!

It is hard to believe that we have completed a whole month of remote learning. Thank you for your continued dedication and your hard work (both students and parents). Education content for at-home learning opportunities will continue to focus on language and mathematics outcomes. There will be opportunities to incorporate science and social studies outcomes through cross-curricular learning, as we have been doing with reading on Kids A-Z and Currents4Kids. Some families have been asking for additional science resources and activities.  Here is a list of good websites: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/teacher-resources/lesson-plans?gclid=CjwKCAjwwMn1BRAUEiwAZ_jnEqHOI5zjK0p9PLBPXLbpO07oK8muhtW26Nj7K88SuTYuSlb3Pz35vxoCHyMQAvD_BwE https://wonderville.org/ https://www.sciencekids.co.nz/ https://sciencebob.com/category/experiments/ https://www.exploratorium.edu/learn https://www.canada.ca/en/services/science/educationalresources.html (The Science Acti

What does it mean to be Canadian?

Image
We began the year in Social Studies asking ourselves this important question.   We were inspired by a song performed by the Hadfield brothers.  One of those brothers is  Canadian Astronaut, Col. Chris Hadfield, who captivated the world in 2013 as commander of the International Space Station (ISS). Students interviewed members of their own families and adults in the school community.  They worked in groups and compiled the ideas they had gathered.  We were especially interested in the commonalties that we found. Here are those ideas.
