Tuesday November 10th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1-Red light, read aloud...new book The Tale of Despereaux.  

Period 2 - French with Mr. Woolley.

Period 3 and 4 is Math.  We'll continue working on adding without regrouping...making sure we understand the concept.  We'll do a Knowledgehook mission as well as a worksheet.  

Period 5 and 6 is Social Studies.  Today we'll be learning all about Transportation in the 1800's.  We'll talk about how the rivers were like highways, and some of the ways settlers and First Nations got around (e.g., horse and cart, snowshoe, canoe etc...)

Monday November 9th

 I can't believe I forgot to post again on Friday!  It was a fun day...we almost finished watching The BFG.  20 minutes left.

Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 - Red light, weekend round Up, finish The BFG.

Period 2 - Writer's workshop.  We're going to work on writing 5 full sentences into a nice paragraph.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We're going to dip our toes into the world of addition.  We'll start off small, using Base Ten blocks and not worrying about regrouping.  I have a game and a worksheet for them to work on.  I also put some practice questions on Blooket that hopefully they can solve using their whiteboards.

Period 5 is mindfulness...we'll work on decorating our wreath for the Remembrance day assembly.

Period 6 is gym with Mr. D.

Thursday November 5th

 Today is our full day, in-school, Focus On Nature workshop/ field trip.  I'm not sure what to expect, but Mr. Russell did it yesterday and said the kids loved it.  

Stay tuned!

Wednesday November 4th

 Yikes...I forgot to post again yesterday...my apologies (again).  Both of my faithful followers must be crushed.

Anyways, yesterday we did stuff...highlighted by having Mrs. Piazza's class visit and do social studies with us.  We made our own toys from natural resources and we learned about hoop and stick and ring and stick games played by early settlers and first nations.

Here is the plan for today:

Period 1- Red light, read aloud, and a little quiz and game based upon the chapter we're reading in the BFG.

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  Today we'll try to level up our boring sentences by making sure we answer who, what, where and when!. 

Period 3 is math.  We'll continue on with some rounding. I have some paperwork to do, then they can play some rounding games I've posted to google Classroom. 

Period 4 is music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 5 is Library / book exchange.  We'll talk a little about art.

Period 6 is Art...we're making 'hand print poppies' for our Remembrance Day Wreath.
