This week we have been reading about Lighthouses. Did you know that there are 150 Lighthouses in Nova Scotia?!
You can learn more about specific ones here:

During literacy groups we started the week reading a small nonfiction article about the history and the importance of Lighthouses in the maritimes.
Now we are moving from NonFiction to Fictional stories about lighthouses. Today we read the book
"Hello Lighthouse"" by Sophie Blackall.
We Listened to the story and stopped at important parts to answer inferencing questions about the story. The questions we had to think about involved us using our background knowledge and evidence from the text in order to come up with an answer.
When reading during literacy groups we always practice CLOSE READING:

Yesterday we reviewed some important Shape Rules and began investigating RECTANGLES!

1. Use non-standard units from around the classroom to build a rectangle
2. Draw this rectangle in your math book
3. Make sure it is properly labeled (vertices, right angles, sides, etc)
4. Can you solve the perimeter if a+b+c+d=P?
5. Use a standard measurement tool (ruler) to measure each side of your rectangle using centimeters
6. Can you find the perimeter using a+b+c+d=P in standard units now? (cm)
7. Share with another group and compare your Rectangles!!
