2 more weeks of school until the Holiday Break!
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 is red light, read aloud and weekend round up.
Period 2 is reader's/writer's workshop - independent student choice.
Period 3 and 4 is Math. We'll work on drawing 3D shapes and pick a shape to make ourselves.
Period 5 is French with Mme. O'Neil.
Period 6 is we'll work on coding our own geometric stars.
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 and 2 -reader's/writer's workshop - student choice and they can work with a partner. I've also have a multi-stepped art project that I'd like to get step one completed this morning.
Period 3 is Math...we're going to watch a video about how to draw 3D shapes and do a little practise.
Period 4 is Gym/Health with Mr. D.
Period 5 and 6 I'm hoping to finish there rest of the Art (we'll start period 1/2) and maybe for a change, we'll watch the movie first for the book we're about to begin (Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh)?
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -Reader's workshop - mini lesson focuses on what it really means to by 'does it sound right'? Using parts of speech to help us guess words (eg. is it a noun, adjective or verb).
Period 2 is writer's workshop - We'll continue working on developing our writing 'voice'.
Period 3 is gym with Mr. D.
Period 4 is math. We'll look a little closer at the 2D shapes that make up 3D shapes and we'll talk about 'nets' (the unfolded representation of 3D shapes). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAOQcPYI_4E (video)

Period 5 is buddies with Mrs. Ever's class. We'll do some fun word searches with our buddies and then hopefully go on 'Santa Tracker' by Google.
Period 6 is Library (and hopefully time to finish our interactive book covers).
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -Red light, read aloud, reader's workshop: Mini lesson on using the vowel combinations we know to solve words
Period 2 is writer's workshop: We'll continue to work on developing our 'writing voice'.
Period 3 and 4 is math. We'll continue looking at edges, faces and vertices when naming 3D solids. I'm hoping the students can use different materials to make their own 3D solids today (e.g., lego, straws, plasticine etc...)
Period 5 is music with Mrs. Haynes.
Period 6 I'm hoping we can continue working on our interactive book covers.
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -Reader's workshop. Mini lesson focuses on 'skipping the word' and returning, when we're having trouble decoding.
Period 2 is writer's workshop. We'll continue to focus on 'voice'. We'll read 3 samples and choose our favourites...then we'll rewrite one of the weaker samples to 'strengthen' the voice.
Period 3 and 4 is math. We'll continue working on 3D shapes....how to name and identify them. I'm hoping to conference with every student...to see what they know. When they finish their work they'll be able to continue to play some 3D shape games...on Prodigy or knowledgehook.
Period 5 we'll do some coding. We'll continue to work on our 'interactive book covers'. We'll also go over the success criteria on what makes an effectively coded interactive book cover.
Period 6 is music with Mrs. Haynes.
Happy Monday...
Here is the plan for today:
Period 1 -Read aloud and weekend round up.
Period 2 -student choice -reader's/writer's workshop.
Period 3 we'll review what we know about 3D solids. We've got some work to do:

Period 4 I'm hoping to use the chromebooks to do a blooket and play some prodigy (all to do with 3D solids)
Period 5 is French with Mme. O'Neil.
Period 6 I'm hoping to continue coding our 'interactive book covers'. If we don't get the computers we'll finish our Art from Friday.
December! I can't believe it.
Here is the plan on this rainy Friday.
Period 1 -Reader's workshop - Student choice to read or write with a friend on Fridays.
Period 2 - I want to start the next part of coding our own 'interactive book covers'. We're at the 'planning stage'.
Period 3 is math. We'll look a little closer at how to name and identify 3D solids...maybe even squeeze in a blooket.
Period 4 is gym/health with Mr. D.
Period 5 and 6 is art. We'll look at some of Optical illusions and hopefully create our own...
Have a safe weekend.
