Tuesday November 12th

 Here is the plan for today.

Our Remembrance Day discussion took longer than I had thought, so we'll do the Squiggly Story today Period 1 as well as our red light and read aloud.

Period 2 is French with Mr. Woolley.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll continue working with counting money amounts using bills and coins.  I've posted a couple of Blooket games on google classroom.  I'm hoping we can do some work, then get on the chromebooks to play some games.   Any practise at home counting up money amounts is powerful!

Period 5 and 6 is Science/Social Studies.  The Grade 2's will be with Smeaton/Raspopov and the Grade 3's will stick around here finishing designing their cars.  

Monday November 11th

 I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 -Red light, Read aloud, Weekend Round Up and we'll talk about Remembrance day.

Period 2-I'll read a book called 'A Squiggly Story' and the kids will do a fun writing activity.

Period 3 is music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 4 is math.  We'll look today at counting money amounts with bills.

Period 5 we'll head outside, then come back in and play some prodigy (more money questions)

Period 6 is library/book exchange.

Thursday November 7th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 and 2 -Mrs. Wilson will be covering me Period 1 and 2 for some in school meetings I have.  She will read a story, do a mini lesson on really staying focused while reading.  Period 2 we'll have the chromebooks to play an Internet Safety game called 'Interland' made by Google.  We'll be showing our buddies this game Period 5, so it will be good for us to practice it first.

Period 3 is social studies.  Grade 2's to Raspopov and Smeaton.  Grade 3's stay here and continue to work on their cars.

Period 4 is math.  We'll do the money scavenger hunt from yesterday that we never got around to. 

Period 5 is Computer buddies (Interland)

Period 6 is gym with Mr. D.

Wednesday November 6th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 -red light, read aloud, mini lesson on words that end with -ES.

Period 2-we'll look at our favourite characters (from books, movies etc...) and we'll come up with adjectives, adverbs, verbs and nouns to describe them...and hopefully begin work on our own characters.

Period 3 I have a scavenger hunt set up around the school. The kids have to find all the different coin pictures and count how much change is there.

Period 4 we'll reenforce that concept playing prodigy.

Period 5 is Health with Mr. D.

Period 6 will be some mindfulness...we'll have some fun and try some 'outside the box' sort of thinking...

Friday November 1st

 Ahh...the day after Halloween.  

The late nights, the sugar, the wind!  The perfect storm!

I'm going to keep my expectations low today...and try to survive...maybe even have some fun.

Period 1 we're going to do our monthly desk swap (which also winds the kids up).  After that I'm going to attempt to teach a quick lesson on the exceptions to the 'magic e' rule....words like: give, live, have, come, done, love, none and some.

Period 2 I'm going to give them some time to work with a friend, or work alone on reading or writing.

Period 3 we'll review the attributes of 2D shapes.  Hopefully get on the computers for a little.

Period 4 they have Mrs. Haynes.

Period 5 and 6 we'll do a quick little art activity and hopefully cruise into the weekend with some free time.
