 Thank goodness it's Friday!

Here is the plan for today: 

Period 1 - Red light, read aloud, Finish up digital labels for our 3 sisters 3D sculptures.

Period 2 -Library- First Chapter Friday, followed by some Onomatopoeia work on Google Classroom ...we'll call it digital art.

Period 3 -is Math.  After the mutiny that almost occurred the other day when we tried to do a gameshow on 'Knowledgehook', I've got a few questions on Prodigy.

Period 4 we're going to do a scavenger hunt, looking around the school for 'Area' questions that Oliver will hopefully hang up when he gets here.

Period 5 - We'll do a little mindfulness/community building.  We're going to have a 'talking circle' where we share appreciations about each other.  

Period 6 - Gym with Mr. D.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thursday March 5th

 First of all...let me tell you, the 3 sisters, 3D sculptures we made yesterday for art turned out awesome:

Here is the plan for today:

Period 1- I have a in-school meeting, but my supply teacher will go through our regular morning routine. For reader's workshop, they'll listen to the True Story of the 3 Little Pigs.  Hopefully zeroing in on voice and perspective.

Period 2 - I should be back, we'll do some 'shape poems' for writer's workshop.  The kids will draw a picture of something (e.g. snake) then write a sentence or two on the outline of that shape...(e.g., The green snake SLITHERS through the TALL grass CLICKING it's tongue as the ladybugs go PRANCING past. ).  We'll focus on the descriptive and sensory language.

Period 3 is math.  We'll continue working on Area.

Period 4 is Music.

Period 5 is computer buddies.  We'll be working on Venn Diagrams with our buddies using Google Drawing. 

Period 6 we'll use the chromebooks to take pictures of our 3 sisters creations and label them on Google Drawing.

Wednesday March 4th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 - Red light, read aloud, reader's workshop.  We'll finish The Nose From Jupiter.  I have a blooket game to play afterwords. 

Period 2 - We'll write Alan goodbye letters from Norbert.

Period 3 -we'll stay outside and enjoy the weather for a bit before we come in and do some Math...more Area work.

Period 4 is music.

Period 5 and 6 is Art.  I'm hoping to use Plasticine to make models of the 3 sisters that we learned about yesterday (Corn, Beans and Squash).

 

Tuesday March 3rd

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1-Red light, read aloud, and we'll play a table group game of 'two truths and a lie'.

Period 2 - French.

Period 3 - Outside for a bit, and come in and start learning about AREA.  I have a fun activity planned for them.  

Period 4 we're going to try a new feature of Knowlegehook called 'game show'.  Wish me luck.

Period 5 and 6 is social studies.  We'll learn about neighbours and knowledge.  We'll talk about how the settlers and first nations shared knowledge and resources in the 1700 and 1800's.  I'm currently making some 'cedar tea' to show the kids how the first nations helped the settlers fight off scurvy.  

Monday March 2nd

 I can not believe it is March already.

Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 -Red light, read aloud, weekend round Up and a seating swap (first of the month).

Period 2 - I have a small activity they'll do in their new groups (Write a story with only 8 words)

Period 3 -if it's nice we'll stay outside for a bit, then when we come in we'll investigate perimeter.  They'll practice making shapes with the same perimeter (but different looking shapes).

Period 4 -once they're finished their work I put 6 questions on Knowledgehook.

Period 5 -gym with Mr. D

Period 6 - I have a Stem Challenge....(hopefully to help facilitate the new groups)...tallest paper tower with 20 pieces of paper....NO TALKING.  Should be entertaining.
