November 7th
It's only first break...but I find it much easier to blog earlier, rather than later...so here we go.
Period 1 and 2 were awesome.
We started off by just finishing up some outstanding work. We worked on our poppy mosaic art, finished our book vs. movie Desperaux work and also worked on yesterday's math/patterning work. When we were done all those things we had some time on the chromebooks (if they wished) to read or write. Everyone was really engaged and worked well this morning.
Period 3 the Grade 4's are off to French...the Grade 3's are writing a very brief quiz on forces.
Period 4 we have the chromebooks again, we'll be using them to finish our Canadian online scavenger hunt. If there is any extra time, we'll be answering some prodigy patterning questions.
Period 5 we have gym. We'll do some more 'footwork' drills and hopefully have some time to play a game or two.
Period 6 Mrs. Haynes has them for music.

November 6th...
Another rainy day!!!
I'll be away this afternoon, so I'm going to blog first thing this morning...Here is what I hope today looks like:
Period 1 we're going to do movie/book comparison for Tale of Despereaux for Red Light. After that, we'll do a little shared reading by singing this song about the provinces of Canada:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aWFVNWO7U9MzdnJOLJZrKq0tQE_bPSmIYBhC6ks6-9c/edit?usp=sharing -lyrics
Then we're going to do our reader's workshop/guided reading.
Period 2 we'll have our writer's workshop, looking at using a thesaurus to enhance our writing (but not too much).
Period 3 we'll look a little closer at patterning. Specifically growing and shrinking patterns.
Period 4 Mrs. Pinnington will take over, and the kids are going to try to do some work out of their math textbooks (for the first time)
Period 5 is going to be allocated to 'finishing up'. First math, then poppy mosaics.
Period 6 the class has music.
**Grade 3's will have a very quick 'forces quiz' tomorrow...I hope they're familiar with that study sheet that wen home last week! study sheet.
