 Happy November!  I can't believe it's November.


Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 - New month...new desks!  Desk Swap plus weekend round up.

Period 2 - Student Choice reader's or writer's workshop.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll continue to work on rounding to the nearest 10 and nearest 100.  We'll play some games on the computer and do a scavenger hunt around the school.

Period 5 is a little mindfulness/calming period...

Period 6 is gym with Mr. D.

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 -Red light, Read aloud, and a practice lockdown drill.

Period 2 -French with Mr. Woolley.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll review what mode and mean means....from yesterday.  Then we'll look a bit closer at analyzing and interpreting data (becoming data detectives).  After that I have some missions set up on knowledgehook.

Period 5 and 6 is social studies.  We'll be looking at how first nation communities used natural resources for food, shelter and travel around the 1800's.  I'm hoping we earn a bit of free time by the end of the day.

Thursday October 22nd

 Sorry I missed yesterday's blog..busy day between workshop in the morning and taking to the kids to LaSalle in the afternoon.  It was a great day!

Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 Red light, read aloud (probably the funniest chapter in the BFG).  Then we'll make our advertisements for our own funny drink (like in the BFG).  

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  We'll talk a little bit about Onomatopoeia's and how Roald Dahl uses them.  Then the kids are going to make up their own words (just like Roald Dahl) and come up with definitions for them.

Period 3 is Music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 4 is Math, we'll continue working on Bar Graphs (reading and creating them).

Period 5 We'll continue social studies.  Talking a little more about the differences between 1800 and now...and the different communities that existed back then.

Period 6 our brains will be spent...so we'll flake out to some free time hopefully (if we earn it!)
