Period 1 Red light, read aloud, and we watched some old drink commercials (Kool-aid and Sunny D).
Period 2 we started story boarding our own commercials for Frobscottle (fictional drink from our Class novel).
Period 3 and 4 we have our Grade 8 Aldershot Buddies coming to join us for a meet and greet session in the library. It was really fun and nice to see the big kids (former students) and the Grade 3's hang out.
Period 5 is gym.
Period 6 is desk clean out and hopefully a bit of free time!
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!)
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1-Red light, read aloud, and a fun BFG writing activity.
Period 2 - French with Mr. Woolley.
Period 3 and 4 is Math. Today we'll begin looking at Bar Graphs...how to read and interpret them...and how to make them. Followed by some missions on Knowledgehook.
Period 5 we'll wrap our plants unit by doing a bit of work on Plant adaptations.
Period 6 we'll begin work on our next Social Studies unit, communities in Canada 1780-1850.
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -Red light, read aloud, weekend round up
Period 2 - We'll share some of our 'silly sentences' from Friday. Then the students will read or write..their choice.
Period 3 and 4 is math. We'll try asking our own question to classmates...recording their results and putting it into a pictograph. Once finished, we'll see if we can than make our pictographs on Google Drawing.
Period 5 is Mindfullness. We'll do a little sensory mindfullness detective work (5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear....etc...paying close attention to the little details).
Period 6 is gym
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -Red light, read aloud, reader's workshop: focus again on using online reading tools.
Period 2 - Writer's workshop: we'll do a fun little partner writing activity where we make up silly sentences...one partner in charge of the noun and the other in charge of the verb.
Period 3 and 4 is math. We'll continue working on Pictographs. Reading them and Creating them. We'll play a couple of game shows on Knowledgehook and then they'll do some independent work.
Period 5 is gym with Mr. D.
Period 6 seems like a good period to relax with a little wayside and colouring/mindfullness as we roll into the weekend.
Another whacky switch day...even though it's Wednesday, we'll follow a Friday Schedule.
Period 1 - Red light, read aloud, reader's workshop - staying engaged in our reading by using stickies.
Period 2 -Writer's workshop. Today we'll be using Google drive to set up 'writing folders' and sharing that folder with me...I'm also hoping to show them about the red squiggly line and how to self correct.
Period 3 is math. We've pretty much mastered organizing data into Carroll and Venn Diagrams. Today we'll look at Tally marks, and frequency tables and the difference between quantitative and qualitative data.
Period 4 we'll play a gameshow on Knowledgehook and practice those skills.
Period 5 is gym (Friday Schedule).
Period 6 hopefully we can do the Norval Morrisseau art from last week we never got to!
I hope everyone had a relaxing long weekend. I spent most of mine recovering from my cold...happy to say I'm on the mend!
Here is the plan for today...which is a switch day (which I forgot)....Monday Schedule
Period 1 -Red light, read aloud, weekend round Up.
Period 2 -reader's/writer's workshop -continue to focus on being engaged reader's and or writers.
Period 3 and 4 is math. We'll review our Carroll and Venn diagrams. Looking at the differences between the 2.
Period 4 is Knowledgehook questions (6) all about those ways to sort data.
Period 5 we'll do a little bit of science...or maybe just mindfulness/free time...we'll see what kind of shape we're in.
Period 6 is Gym with Mr. D.
NOTE: tomorrow is a 'Friday Schedule/switch day'.
