Unit of Inquiry

Before we begin our next unit, we used UOI period today to learn about Martin Luther King, since today is a special Martin Luther King Day! We then used apples to understand that although the skin of apples may be different colour, when you cut them a certain way, they have the same shape on the inside. They learned a lot today!

Spelling

Students copied down these weeks words 3 times in their notebook, and then finished work in SPA workbooks.

SPA: pgs. 65 – 68

Have a wonderful Evening
