Wednesday April 26th

 Period 1 -we'll play the set game again, now that we know the rules...it's so good.  Then we'll start our new read aloud, a Choose Your Own Adventure.  

Period 2 for writer's workshop, we'll work as a class to develop our own choose your own adventure slide show...should be fun.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We are going to 'deep dive' more into knowledgehook.  I've posted 54 actual EQAO questions on knowledgehook for the kids to complete on their own time (practise at home??). We'll work through how to access the questions and how to get support.

Period 5 is computer buddies...we'll continue working on our posters from last week.

Period 6 is French (I had to switch things around today for an appointment)

Tuesday April 25th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 we'll look at a cool website/game called the 'set game': http://www.setgame.com/set/puzzle -we'll go over the rules and see how many sets we can find.  Then we'll do our weekend round up.

Period 2 is reader's/writer's workshop.  I'm hoping to talk about tenses (past, present and future) and do a few questions on English Prodigy.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll stay outside for a bit, then come in and talk a little bit about EQAO and what it will look like (I had PD on it yesterday).  Then we'll try a newish website called Knowledgehook.  We'll play some games and do some work on Knowledgehook (in the style of EQAO). 

Period 5 they have Mr. D for gym.

Period 6 we'll watch chapter 11 of Read All About It and answer some comprehension questions.  

Friday April 21st

 Here is the plan for today.

Period 1 Music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 2 We'll read the final 4 chapters (they're short chapters) of Holes.  Then to switch things up a little, I'm going to do some math.  I've got some capacity and mass questions I've assigned on Prodigy that I'd like everyone to finish.

Period 3 Mrs. Alvarez is coming in to help with writer's workshop.  We'll build off of Read All About It and work on our own Limericks.  

Period 4 We'll start watching the Holes movie.

Period 5 We'll continue watching Holes.

Period 6 we'll be outside to help clean up the playground to celebrate Earth Day.  

Thursday April 20th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 - for red light we'll finish our Mass and Capacity work from yesterday that we never got around to.  Then I'll read Holes and we'll do reader's workshop, with the same mini lesson from yesterday (which I also didn't get around to!)

Period 2 -we'll continue on with the visualization from Stomping Tom's Hockey Song.

Period 3 -we'll use the chromebooks to do some Mass and Capacity questions on Math Prodigy.

Period 4 is Health with Mr. D.

Period 5 and 6 is Art.  After we stay outside for a bit, we'll do some earth day art.  Hopefully it will look a little like this:

Wednesday April 19th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 is read aloud and reader's workshop.  Our mini lesson will focus on using connecting words (e.g., unlike, but, such as, and) to help us with context.

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  Hopefully we'll get our last couple of non-fiction presentations done and start working on a unit I've developed based on Stomping Tom's 'Hockey Song'.  

Period 3 is French with Mme. O'Neil.

Period 4 we'll continue working on mass and capacity and do the work from yesterday we didn't get to.

Period 5 is buddies with Mrs. Ever's class.

Period 6 is book exchange.

Tuesday April 17th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 -read aloud (Holes) - reader's workshop - mini lesson on inserting a synonym to help solve words.

Period 2 we'll have a fire drill, not sure how long that will last...hopefully enough time to do some presentations afterwards (non fiction slide shows)

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll look at mass and capacity.  What they are and how to measure.  We'll do some easy work:

https://www.k5learning.com/worksheets/math/grade-3-measurement-units-of-weight-metric-a.pdf mass

Period 5 is gym with MR. D.

Period 6 we'll hopefully have enough time to watch the episode of Read All About It that we didn't get to yesterday.

Monday April 17th

 I just realized that I forgot to blog on Friday...my apologies.

Here is the plan for today.

Period 1 - Read aloud - Holes, and weekend round up.

Period 2 -we'll have reader's/writer' workshop, student choice.  I'm hoping to squeeze in a couple of more non-fiction presentations.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  If it's nice, we'll spend some time outside.  For math we'll continue looking at equivalent fractions.  We'll use some manipulatives to find as many equavilent fractions as we can.

Period 5 is music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 6 we'll watch chapter 10 of Read All About It and do the comprehension questions afterwards.
