Sorry I missed yesterdays post...I had to leave early for a workshop.
Here is the plan for today.
Period 1 -Red light, read aloud, finish up some math (5's and 10s times tables).
Period 2 - I'm hoping we can finish up our funny fairy tales using there, their and they're.
Period 3 -Science / Social studies. Grade 2's to Raspopov/Smeaton. Grade 3's will stay here and work on their spinning tops.
Period 4 is Math. We'll work on our 9 times tables...lots of tricks for this one.
Period 5 is buddies with Mrs. Ever's class. We'll continue to work on our 'Day at the Zoo' slideshows.

Period 2 -French, Woolley.
Period 3 -We'll learn all about the 5's and 10's times tables...they're easy ones!
Period 4-we'll use that knowledge to answer some questions on Math Prodigy.
Period 5 and 6 the Grade 2's are off to Raspopov and Smeaton, the Grade 3's will stay put, and work on both their 'city research' and 'spinning top/STEM' activities.
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -Red light, Read aloud, Weekend Round Up.
Period 2 -Writer's workshop- continue on working on email etiquette.
Period 3 -Music Mrs. Haynes.
Period 4 - Math - we'll play our 8 times tables board games in class.

Period 6 we'll head to the library for book exchange.
Sorry to all my faithful reader (that's right, singular, because I am not entirely sure anyone reads this)!
I forgot my phone the other day, and consequently, I've been locked out of everything...I need face ID to get into everything!
I'm back now...with my phone in hand.

Period 2 we'll use the chromebooks and will explore Gmail, and proper email/digital etiquette. We'll practice writing kindness emails to partners in the class.
Period 3 is math. We'll for fun, learn the 8 time table (even though we don't need to...but we'll just double our 4's) and we'll create our own 8 times table board games.
Period 4 is Music with Mrs. Haynes.
Period 5 and 6 is art...we'll be designing our own hearts with warm and cool colours....Hopefully they'll look something like this:

Period 2 is writer's workshop. We'll focus on 'showing not telling'. I'll put them in pairs and have them rewrite boring sentences into something more vivid....example: I was scared.
→ My hands trembled, and my heart pounded like a drum. I held my breath as the shadow crept closer.
Period 3 we'll play outside for a little extra time, then we'll do some more 'Array' math work.
Period 4 I have some paper work and computer work they can do on arrays.
Period 5 is health with Mr. D.
Period 6 we have Will and Jim coming in to help me out with guitar. If everything goes according to plan, we'll learn the D chord today..
REMINDER....put your pj's on backwards, spoons under pillows and ice cubes in the toilet tonight...let's hope for a snow day!
