 Woohoo!  Friday and last day of March!

Here is the plan or today.

Period 1-Music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 2 -Reader's/writer's workshop -student choice...I think most kids will choose to continue working on their non-fiction slide shows.

Period 3 and 4 we have a special guest.  Reid's mom, Dr. Beth McNally will be coming in to do a little science/art/writing activity, looking at cars from the past, present and future.  

Period 5 and 6 we'll do a symmetry blooket, then spend the rest of the time finishing up various on the go projects (e.g., yesterday's symmetry art, math, and writing).

Have a great weekend.

Thursday March 30th

 Here is the plan for today.

Period 1-Read aloud.  Reader's workshop.  Mini lesson focuses on understanding the influences on characters.  We'll examine Stanley from our class novel, Holes.  We'll see how different situations help us understand him from different perspectives.  

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  We'll continue working on our writing our non-fiction pieces.  We'll continue asking and answering questions.  Then we'll put that work together into a slideshow.

Period 3 is math.  We'll look at symmetry.  We'll do the following work:

Period 4 is Gym/Health with Mr. D.

Wednesday March 29th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 is reader's workshop.  I'll read our class novel, Holes.  We'll play around and try to act out a scene.  We'll talk about how putting our selves in the character's shoes really helps us to understand what we're reading.

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  We'll continue on with asking questions to guide Non-fiction then use the chromebooks to research the questions we asked.

Period 3 is French with Ms. O'Neil.

Period 4 is math.  We'll look at symmetry and do some symmetry work.

Period 5 is buddies.  We'll play some fun 'spot the difference' games with our buddies.  

Period 6 is Library.  We'll exchange books and enjoy a bit of free time at the end of the day, hopefully.

Physio this morning...just got in!

Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 -reader's workshop - we'll focus on mapping how characters feelings change throughout the course of a story.

Period 2 is writer's workshop - we'll focus on asking questions to help us focus our writing when writing non-fiction (e.g., what do dolphins eat?).

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll look more at coordinate geometry.  Today we'll be looking rotations, both clockwise and counter-clockwise.

Period 5 is gym with Mr. D.

Period 6 we'll finish our watercolour spring flower from last week.
