Here is what today looks like.
Period 1 - we measured the perimeter of our desks for redlight.
Then we had reader's workshop.
Period 2 we had our writer's workshop. We talked a lot about using technology as a tool (not a toy).
Period 3 the Grade 4's went to French. The Grade 3's got to explore mindomo...the mind mapping program.
Period 4 we're going to play around with some coloured square tiles and look at how even though area stays the same...perimeter's can change.
Period 5 we have the gym. We're going to play some 4 corner bench ball.
Period 6 is music with Mrs. Haynes.

Here is what we're doing today, I hope!
Period 1 Reader's workshop...we're going to focus on bumping up the quality of our letters...and talk about getting them done, on time.
Period 2 is Writer's workshop. Our mini lesson will focus on 'rereading to jump back in' to help with our writing.
Period 3 and 4 we'll start looking at Perimeter. We've got a simple worksheet, plus a more complex assignment where we see if we can manipulate the perimeter of a sheet of paper. Here is a website we'll be looking at to help us understand perimeter.

Period 5 we'll spend finishing up our letters and our Jen Stark art from yesterday.
Period 6 Mrs. Haynes has the class for music.

Here is what we did today.
Period 1 we made Jacob belated birthday cards for red light. Then had a reader's workshop. Today's mini lesson focused on using sticky notes to help us with our letters.
Period 2 we headed to the gym for some delicious pancakes. Thanks to all the amazing volunteers! Stuff like that doesn't happen at most schools. We're very fortunate.
Period 3 we played a game called 'bizz, buzz' to help us with our 3 times tables. Then I taught the kids the last of my tricks to help us learn the 3's and 6's times tables. We've finally conquered the times tables.
Period 4 we worked on these worksheets:
6’s -https://www.math-salamanders.com/image-files/multiplication-printable-worksheets-6-times-table-fish-1.gif
Period 5 is devoted to finishing up! Letters, Art and Math games.

Then we're going to have a class discussion about appropriate use of the Internet, and sharing what we've found on the Internet (e.g., Youtube) and what is appropriate to share in school.
Then we'll head music.
Period 2 we're going to make some fun 'shadow art' self portraits with Mrs. Perks:
