Thursday January 9th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 - Red light, read aloud, and the phonics lesson from yesterday I didn't get to all about 'r-controlled vowels'...specifically the ar/ & or, ore/or.  There should be a bit of independent reading time before we get the chromebooks.

Period 2 -We will continue to work on our Choose Your Own Adventure stories on Google Classroom...integrating links into our Google Slides.

Period 3 -The Grade 2's are off to Raspopov/Smeaton for some Science fun.  Grade 3's will stay here and we'll dig a little deeper into First Nation Architecture.  I'm hoping we can find some time to research a specific First Nation dwelling and find out which group used it, how it was built, and what sort of forces are acting on it.

Period 4 is math.  We're continuing with addition strategies.  We've mastered the number line and 'expanded form' addition.  We'll be building off that working on adding in chunks (which is similar to number-line...just without the number-line).

Period 5 we have computer buddies.  We're going to work on our art skills with a couple of really fun 'digital art' websites. 

Period 6 they have Mr. D for gy.
