Here is plan for today:
Period 1 and 2 is red light, read aloud, reader's/writer's workshop. I'm hoping the class will be able to type out their paragraphs from yesterday and maybe play a little English Prodigy.
Period 3 is math. We'll do some co-ordinate geometry work.
Period 4 is gym with Mr. D.
Period 5 and 6 is Art. I'm hoping to do some cool art work using our names in written in cursive.
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1- Red light, read aloud, reader's workshop: mini lesson focus on using just the right word...if you come across a word you don't know...first figure out if it describes something positive or negative...then try to use synonyms to come up with the appropriate word.
Period 2 -Writer's workshop -continue working on our paragraphs from yesterday...would you rather fly high or move fast.
Period 3 gym with Mr. D.
Period 4 math. We'll look at coordinates on a grid and how to move from one are to the next. (eg., up 4, 3 to the left, quarter turn clockwise).
Period 5 is computer buddies....we'll teach our Grade 1 friends what Dojo Island is all about.
Period 6...assuming the class has a great day we'll enjoy some free time in the library. Some kids will play on the chromebooks and some kids will beat me at Connect 4.
Yuck...rainy, windy Wednesday!
We'll try to make the best of it. Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -Red light, read aloud, reader's workshop...same mini lesson as yesterday (as we were planting radishes first period yesterday).
Period 2 -Writer's workshop: We'll continue exploring paragraph writing. We'll write paragraphs about whether we would rather be able to fly high, or move fast.
Period 3 and 4 is math. We'll finish up our unit on mass and capacity. I've got a little experiment I'd like them to try.
Period 5 is music with Mrs. Haynes.
Period 6 we'll do the social studies from yesterday (that we also didn't get around to), reading Buffalo Bird Girl and answering questions.
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -Red light, read aloud (Holes) and reader's workshop- mini lesson focusing on using clues to infer the meaning of 'tricky words'.
Period 2 - Writer's workshop - We'll look at some previous EQAO paragraph writing questions...we'll do one as a class then they'll do one on their own...just to practice our paragraph writing skills.

Here is the plan for today:
First off, we'll welcome Mrs. Benison's Grade 3 girls while she takes the Grade 4's on a field trip.
Period 1 - Reader's workshop. We'll talk about where words are in the sentence to help us figure them out (e.g., verbs are usually right after nouns).

Period 3 and 4 Math - We'll finish up the Fraction Flag activity we're doing in partners from yesterday. After that the students will hopefully design their own flags and figure out the fractions of the colours they use. If it's nice I'm sure we'll get outside at some point.

Period 6 we'll use the chromebooks to finish coding our balanced eco systems.
