Math 
This week we have been working with numbers and exploring different ways to count. Some students decided that making groups of ten to count large numbers of objects would be more efficient then counting by ones. 
Ask me about?  Can you count by 2's, 5's?  10's? ..... practice at home!! 

 Inquiry
We have started our investigation and research into our animal project. We selected books this week and decided which animal we would like to learn more about. We are exploring websites such as pebble go and Life Science. You can access these websites via the Learn Alberta Website www.learnalberta.ca  go to the online references to look for the sites, you will need this login information.  Username: LA06 | Password: 4105
