What a beautiful day.
Here is what we've done so far (and what we plan to do).
Period 1 we were so into Frindle, that we read for almost the whole period and finished the book...so good!
Period 2 was reader's/writer's workshop.
Period 3 we did a little Drum Fit...I took some pictures and some video because they were so good at it...I hope the link works!

Period 4 we had the chromebooks. We did a variety of things...but most kids either ended up on Prodigy or exploring this website for probability games:

Period 5 we have library. I may try to squeak outside for a moment to measure a ball throw toss. Then we're off to the library.
Period 6 both grades have French with Mr. Woolley.
Have terrific weekends

Here is what today SHOULD look like.
Period 1 is health with Mrs. Coric.
Period 2 is reader's/writer's workshop (we'll review what this time should look and sound like...we've lost sight a little lately).
Period 3 the 4's are in French and the 3's are going to work on figuring out the parts of a plant.
Period 4-6 Mrs Pinnington will be in for me. I'm in the school working with another teacher.
They'll start with some probability work.
Period 5 I'm hoping if the weather is nice we can finally get to the long jump measurements.
Period 6 I've left for finishing up (math) or any other outstanding work. Possibly some free time??
NOTE- I'm still looking for some La Salle Park and RBG permission forms.

Here is what today looked/looks like.
Period 1 Mrs Burns came in to do another emotional wellness lesson. We made posters of ourselves in Red, Blue, Green and Yellow zones.
Period 2 was reader's/writer's workshop.
Period 3 the 4's had French. The 3's used the chromebooks to continue to explore probability some more.

What a yucky weather Tuesday.
Here is what today should look like:
Period 1 we started our first day of 'flexible seating'. We came up with these rules as a class:
1. Pick a good 'learning spot' for you (be responsible)
2. New spot and new partner each day.
3. Work as a good community member to take care of our classroom (keeping the desk empty and clean...putting away materials...including/helping others).
4. Mr. Cross has the right to move anyone, at any time for any reason
We'll see how this goes...gulp!
Period 2 was reader's/writer's workshop.
Period 3 we're going to do some probability experiments...looking at the odds of certain events occurring (spinning a certain number).
Period 4 we have the computers. The Grade 4's are going to do some research on their ancient civilization project they started last week with Mrs. Flindall. The Grade 3's are going to explore this website in partners to investigate the parts of a plant (http://extension.illinois.edu/gpe/gpe.html).
Period 5 I'm hoping to have a closing community circle...talk about our first day of flexible seating (what worked, what didn't) and maybe play a few community games (heads up, seatball).
Period 6 Mrs. Haynes has them for music.
NOTE: Permission forms went home yesterday for both Grades for our field trip to RBG...they're on a yellow piece of paper.

Happy Monday...no more EQAO!
Here is what today should look like.
Period 1 we practiced our 'flower' techniques in art class. Then they went to music.
Period 2 we're hopefully going to apply our techniques to our masterpieces we've been working on for the last couple of weeks.
Period 3 we have math and we're going to look at probability.
Period 4 the 4's have French and the 3's are going to continue to work on math...or perhaps start science (plants and soils).
Period 5 we're going to do our weekend round up and talk about our new 'flexible seating'.
Period 6 I'd like to take both grades outside to practise for long jump.

Two-thirds of the way done EQAO!
Today the Grade 4's did literacy, french and social studies with Mrs. Flindall's Grade 4 class.
The Grade 3's started the day doing the first section of Math EQAO. Periods 3/4 they're working on Language (section C).
Period 5 and 6 I'll have both my classes, together again! Hopefully we'll be able to start the movie Holes!
Hard work, rainy day, amazing read aloud = perfect day to watch and enjoy the movie!

May 22nd
One third of the way through EQAO!
Both Grades worked hard today... The grade 4's got to spend time "doing real work" with Mrs Flindall, "the greatest teacher in the world".
The Grade 3's worked hard on 2 language booklets today. Lots of reading and writing.
Period 5 both grades went outside to plant onions with Mrs. Walters.
Period 6 we have music.
Note: Pink Permission Forms going home today for the end of the year La Salle Park trip. Since we're in a primary/junior split, our Grade 4's are allowed to come too!

Period 3 we're going to continue to work with money and do a money worksheet.
Period 4 the Grade 4's are off to French, the Grade 3's will stay here for a quick 'probability lesson'.
Period 5 we'll do weekend round up. I would also like to take them outside to practise for ball throw.
Period 6, if there's time, we'll start watching the movie Holes...we may save this for tomorrow too!
The Grade 4's will be working with Mrs. Flindall's Grade 4's during EQAO, following their schedule.
Here is a look at the Grade 3 EQAO schedule:
Grade 3 parents...please take a look at last week's post 'EQAO notes' about bringing quiet independent activities for the next 3 days.

EQAO notes
Attention Grade 3 parents.
The EQAO testing will happen next week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
There are 4 language sections, and 2 math sections.
The students are given as long as they need to finish each section...in one continuous sitting (e.g., they can't stop, eat lunch and go back and finish a section)
I've administered this test many times. From my experience it takes most kids about 50-60 minutes to finish a section. Some take longer, and some finish much quicker.
There are 100 minute blocks between nutrition breaks for the kids to write each section.
Clear as mud?
What that all means is most kids finish with plenty of extra time before we start the next section. It is REALLY IMPORTANT that the kids who finish early remain quiet (and at their desks) so others can concentrate and finish at their own pace, without distraction.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send your kids with some quiet activities do after they've finished. For example colouring books, reading books/magazines, word searches, sketch books are all great quiet independent activities.
No electronics (as they are very distracting to those around them).
If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an email.

Period 2 was reader's/writer's workshop.
Period 3 and 4 we did math. We looked a little closer at mixed fractions and improper fractions.
Period 5 we're going to read aloud and have a class discussion about 'keeping it together' these last few weeks. The last 2 days haven't been too easy in room 115 (I think that's our room number). Maybe a game of seatball to inspire collaboration and cooperation?
Period 6 we have music with Mrs. Haynes.

Another great day almost in the books.
Here is what we did today.
Period 1 - Reader's workshop. Today's mini lesson was about making 'deeper' book to book connections between the read alouds we've read so far...some pretty smart thinking.
Period 2 was writer's workshop. Our mini lesson was focused on 'To And or Not to And? When and when not to use the word 'AND'.
Period 3 we played Fraction War (ask your kids to play with you).
Period 4 we watched this video introducing decimals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FH6YiLWIuE . Then we did a couple of worksheets converting fractions to decimals. The class worked hard.
Period 5 we read some Holes and watched this Bill Nye video on sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPwl3Y7wG28
Period 6 Mrs. Haynes has them for music.
NOTE:
I am still missing 2 Grade 4's permission forms for their activity on Friday.
I am also missing 5 Grade 3's permission forms for their FREE field trip on Thursday.

What a great day! Your children are great...
It's last period and I am still stuffed by the amazing lunch the parent community put together for us...amazing.
Here is what we did today.
Period 1 was Youtube Friday:
Lots of great videos and smart conversations.
Period 2 was our best reader's/writer's workshop in a long time. Everyone was engaged.
Period 3 we played some 'bean bag golf' in the gym.
Period 4 we had the chromebooks and we created Pixton comics, that show off something we know about fractions. Check out the finished ones:

Today should be another 'different' day with the dress rehearsal and actual performance upon us. I'm sure kids will be in and out of the room like crazy.
Here is what I am hoping today will look like?
Period 1 -Health Mrs. Coric.
Period 2 -Reader's Workshop
Period 3 -4's to French. 3's to practise some EQAO esque writing.
Period 4 -math- introduction to equivalent fractions.
Period 5 and 6 -is the actual performance, so I am hoping we can stay in the classroom until our 'song(s)' and finish up any of the work that is still lingering.
NOTE-
-show starts afternoon at 2:15 (I believe)
-the night time performance is at 6:30, kids are to be dropped off in the classroom around 6:15 (I believe)
-still need Grade 4 permission forms for the in school presentation.
-still need Grade 3 permission forms for safety village.
-Youtube Friday is tomorrow...still waiting for a few people to send me their clips.
-still collecting 'family games night' donations for our raffle basket
-there is probably something else that I am forgetting!!

Period 1 -Health Mrs. Coric.
Period 2 -Reader's Workshop
Period 3 -4's to French. 3's to practise some EQAO esque writing.
Period 4 -math- introduction to equivalent fractions.
Period 5 and 6 -is the actual performance, so I am hoping we can stay in the classroom until our 'song(s)' and finish up any of the work that is still lingering.
NOTE-
-show starts afternoon at 2:15 (I believe)
-the night time performance is at 6:30, kids are to be dropped off in the classroom around 6:15 (I believe)
-still need Grade 4 permission forms for the in school presentation.
-still need Grade 3 permission forms for safety village.
-Youtube Friday is tomorrow...still waiting for a few people to send me their clips.
-still collecting 'family games night' donations for our raffle basket
-there is probably something else that I am forgetting!!

Is there seriously only 2 months left of school?
Today is a little chaotic. We've done a rehearsal for the musical the last 2 periods. It's going slower than expected and we'll need to continue to rehearse period 3.
Hopefully period 4 we can do some math...and look at equivalent fractions. Period 5 was suppose to be gym and the gym is off limits...outside doesn't look too pretty either...so I suspect we'll do our seating swap (my choice this month) and hopefully get some reader's workshop in.
Period 6 is supposed to be music.
We got a couple more 'family game' donations...we could still use more. Grade 4's still need to bring in their permission forms....Grade 3's are going home with their permission form for our trip to safety village.
