Tuesday May 6th

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.

May 6th

So far, so good.

Here is how today has gone, and how it should go.

Period 1 we watched Brenden's Youtube Friday video to begin.  Then we read a chapter of Holes.  Then the class went to music.
Period 2 we did art with Mrs. Perks.  We started painting the backgrounds for our portraits.

Period 3 we continue working our masterpieces...special thanks to Mrs. Perks for staying late and Emma S for cleaning all our trays!

Period 4 the Grade 4's went to French and the Grade 3's stayed here and are working on equivalent fractions on Google Classroom.

Period 5 we're going to do weekend round up.
Period 6 is reader's writer's workshop...week A letters due!

I still need a few more permission forms from the Grade 4's and the Grade 3's.

May 3rd

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:
Logan:
Cross: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3puGb9f50unRnRYdk1PZDVURGc/view

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:

Period 5 we had the library.

Period 6 the kids are off to French.

I hope everyone has an excellent weekend.

May 2nd

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!!

May 1st

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.


Monday September 28th

 Mr. Cross is back!   It sounds like Mrs. Sylvester loved her week with the class...which is nice to hear. Here is the plan for today: Perio...
