SCIENCE:
This week we CATEGORIZED rocks using our knowledge of the rock cycle, sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. We also completed online research and filled in an infographic.







SOCIAL STUDIES:
Social Studies - Mapping!

Grade 3s worked with a variety of different maps over the week. After exploring a map of Canada and gathering information about Canadian customs, culture, and diversity, they expanded and began looking at World Maps. Through the exploration of world maps, students began to identify continents
, countries, cities, and important bodies of water. 

We are excited to continue looking at global communities. Ask your child to list the continents and share what else they learned this week!
