Friday September 23rd

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1: -We'll continue to work on our OP art from yesterday to start the day.  Then we'll do reader's workshop.  Our mini lesson will focus on 'fixing the fuzziness' (trying to see if we really understand what we're reading.

Period 2: is writer's workshop.  We're continue to work on focus and stamina.  Today's mini lesson is all about keeping our pencil's in our hands.

Period 3 we're going to continue on with addition with regrouping. We never actually got around to yesterday's work, so we'll try it again today.

Period 4 we run for Terry Fox.

Period 5 is gym with Mr. D.

Period 6 I'm leaving open as a finish up/free time period.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Thursday September 22nd

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 we'll do our first fire drill of the year.  From past experience, this will probably take up most of period 1.

Period 2 will be reader's/writer's workshop -student choice.  I'll teach a mini lesson about making 'dot goals' in our writing book to see if we can achieve those goals.

Period 3 is math.  We really made some headway yesterday adding with regrouping.  We'll continue to build on that today playing this game as a class and doing the worksheets afterwards.

Period 4 is Music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 5 and 6 is art.  We'll most likely stay outside for a bit of extra outside time.  Then we'll look at OP art (optical illusion art)

Thursday September 15th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 - I had an 'in-school' meeting so Ms. Pinnington covered 'Reader's Workshop'.  The mini lesson focused of finding your 'perfect reading spot'. 

Period 2 - I'll be back in class Period 2 for writer's workshop.  I'll try to inspire them to write by sharing some funny jokes.  Hopefully some of the reluctant writer's can go back and write their own jokes.

Period 3 we'll stay outside for a bit.  When we come in we'll actually do the work I had planned 3 days ago!  Rolling dice and making numbers using base ten blocks.

Period 4 Ms. O'Neil has them for French.

Period 5 we'll stay outside for a little extra time, then we'll do the cubist trees from last week.  We'll talk about what cubism is, then try to attempt this art:
