Tuesday January 31st

 Last day of January!  Here is the plan for today.

Period 1 -Read aloud, reader's workshop.  Our mini-lesson will focus on paying attention to ending punctuation, to help us know how to read fluently.

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  We'll continue on with paragraph writing.  Using the 'hamburger' graphic organizer.  The kids will pick their own topics today.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  If it's not too cold outside, we'll stay for a bit.  After that we'll come in. I have 2 Blooket's planned (all about multiplication and arrays).  I am also posting a 'multiplication puzzle' on google classroom that they'll try to solve.

Period 5 is gym with Mr. D.  

Period 6 is science....we'll talk about ways to make materials stronger (folding paper, twisting etc...).  Then the class will see if they can make paper bridges that are strong enough to hold a load of snap cubes.

Monday January 30th

 Here is the plan for today...which is a 'Friday' schedule

Period 1-Music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 2 -Reader's workshop-mini lesson will focus on reading in phrases

Period 3/4-we'll stay outside for a little bit then come in and do some math.  We're going to play a multiplication array game...if there is any time left over, maybe we'll play some prodigy.

Period 5 we'll come in for 'writer's workshop', we're going to continue on working on paragraphs.

Period 6 we'll be a finish up/free time (if you've finished all your work)....

Thursday January 26th

 Well...Mrs. Cross and my children are all home...safe, warm and enjoying the HWDSB's snow day!  Boo!

I'm going to change the plans a little as the 'schools open/no busses' always means a significant dip in attendance.  

Period 1 and 2 we'll make 'Reader's/Writer's workshop', student choice.

Period 3 we'll stay outside for some fun play time.

Period 4 is Health with Mr. D.

Period 5 and 6 we'll watch some sort of movie in our PJ's and maybe talk to our friend Rhowyn, who is going to try and video call us from the Cayman Islands (where I hope it is currently snowing).

Remember, tomorrow is a PD day...no school!

Wednesday January 25th

 Happy snowy day...

Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 is reader's workshop, we'll continue to work on fluency....we'll talk about 'making the bumpy sound smooth'.  

Period 2 I'll be getting paid back for a missing prep, so Mrs. Duque will continue to work on paragraphs with the 3's.

Period 3 is French with Mrs. O'Neil.

Period 4 we'll finish up our 'array math' from yesterday and answer some question (20) on prodigy. 

Period 5 we have buddies...we'll help our Grade 1/2 friends make safety posters on google drawing.

Period 6 we'll do a quick book exchange and then finish up any unfinished work.

*Note - if you're hoping for a snow day tomorrow...you must sleep with your pj's inside out, put ice cubes in the toilet and make sure there is a spoon underneath your pillow.  

**Note - if you're busy vacationing in the Cayman Islands, you better still do the above!

Tuesday January 24th

 Here is the plan for today.

Period 1 we'll do a 'how many triangles can you find' task for red light.  https://www.transum.org/Software/SW/Starter_of_the_day/starter_January23.asp

Then we'll do reader's workshop.  We'll work on fluency when reading 'non-fiction'.  

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  We'll begin work on what a paragraph is exactly.

Period 3 and 4 we'll stay outside with the rest of the Grade 3's for a bit.   When we come inside, we'll look at visual representations of our times tables (called arrays) and we'll do some work on Google Classroom.

Period 5 is gym with Mr. D.

Period 6 we'll do the science from yesterday (hopefully) that we never actually got around to...looking at materials and stability.

Monday January 23rd

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 we'll finish up our OP blob shading art for redlight.  Then we'll read aloud I Want To Go Home.  Then it will be weekend round up.

Period 2 is reader's/writer's workshop.  I'll do a fun MadLib with them first.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll play outside in the snow for a bit before we come in and 'finish' the times tables...we're looking at our 3's and 6's...and 7's (sort of...by nature of learning everything else, we'll have 7's covered, except 7X7=49).  https://www.timestables.com/
