The Beginning of the End

 Our 6th and final unit of the year began this week as we started our inquiry into Sharing the Planet. Our central idea for this unit is, “Our actions affect the earth’s resources and people.” We first defined the words in our central idea and lines of inquiry, and then the students shared their ideas of what the unit’s main ideas could be about. 

Then we watched a few short videos about different types of resources, and followed them up with some sorting activities on Seesaw to strengthen our understanding of what resources are.

At the end of the week we began creating posters about the different types of natural resources that we use, and how we use them. We will finish making them early next week.

In PE, we began a new unit on simple games and ball skills.

And in math we began dividing with remainders, by using yummy jellybeans.

Next Friday we will have our first ever Sponsors Run. Please make sure that your child has an envelop with ¥1000 in one hundred yen coins, school t-shirt, hat, sunscreen, running shoes and a water bottle. Please see the information below.
