If you are placing a scholastic book order online from the April order forms that came home last week please do so by this Monday April 15th, 2019.
Good morning Royal Oak School Families,
Many students at Royal Oak School are excited to celebrate the Calgary Flames advancing to Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. To celebrate this success, we are inviting all students to wear Calgary Flames Gear, red shirts, Royal Oak Blue or the jersey of their favourite team on Thursday, April 11th.
This is the same day as our class photos so if you prefer not to participate that is fine. Alternatively, if you want, your child could bring a jersey and switch after they have had their photos in the A.M. Or if you are fine with them being in their Jersey's for pictures that is an option as well. Please just ensure that your child knows which option you prefer.
Go Flames Go!
Sincerely,
Royal Oak School
Reading Like a News Reporter Continued!
This week we have been continuing to practice READING LIKE A NEWS REPORTER. Student's printed out new articles of interest and have been practicing all of the parts of reading fluently during literacy groups and with a partner. Another way to help build expression and fluency is to practice role playing as if you were that character. We have been having fun trying to read like the below emotions or characters!! You can try this at home with your article or just with a page or two of your favorite book!
Subtraction
Taking away tens:
Today we practiced moving backwards by tens and also groups of tens. We used a hundreds chart and looked at the patterns we were seeing.

We practiced using number lines to solve a double digit subtraction problem now that we have become experts at stacking
We investigated the relationship between addition and subtraction and practiced first solving using subtraction and then addition to see how the equation changes and how we can do both on the number line.

We then practiced solving both ways using white boards. Ask me which way I like best and why?
We will be practicing number line subtraction and the reverse addition equation that goes with our subtraction equation all week long.
Communities Comparison
Comparing The Prairies and the Arctic in our Venn Diagrams:
Today we looked back on all of our work and understanding when we were thinking like Historians and uncovering Calgary's past as well as looking at Alberta and the past and present of Calgary. We added what we remembered to our Venn Diagram. We had to think of all of the things that make up a culture and what parts make Calgary (past and present) distinct and unique.
Tomorrow we will look at the things that are the same between these two parts of Canada and reflect on 3 things:
The most important thing I learned about the Arctic…
What I remember the most about Alberta and the prairies is…..
How are they both an important part of Canada? ...
Word Work
Today we practiced the vowel sound in -ou and -ow and came up with as many words as possible that follow this pattern. Ask me which words I came up with and some new ones that I learned?
We also put some words in JAIL because they do not follow the rules!!
