Today should be fairly chaotic...as my Grade 4's are on their field trip to Ancaster, and I'll have Mrs. Sylvester's Grade 5's...teaching the 3/5 split today!
I'm not sure I'll find another time to blog today...here's what I'm hoping happens.
Period 1 - We'll do this worksheet for Red Light:
Then we'll do a read aloud..and have some independent reading.
At some point we're suppose to have a fire alarm this morning.
Period 2 -we'll have our Writer's Workshop. Our mini-lesson will focus on writing a proper letter.
Period 3 we have the gym, we'll be playing some standard dodgeball...possibly Grade 3's vs Grade 5's?
Period 4 is math. I'm hoping to teach the game, Race to 100.

Period 5 we have Library/book exchange (and I think the Grade 4's will be back around this time).
Period 6 Mr. Woolley has both grades for French.
Have a great weekend!

September 27th
So it's another Thursday...which means I'll have to blog before I even see the kids...
Here is what I hope today will look like.
Period 1 -Mrs. Coric is teaching health.
Period 2- we're headed to the library to further explore 'My Blueprint' with Mrs. Pauls.
Period 3-The Grade 4's are off to Mr. Woolley for French...the Grade 3's are helping our Grade 1 friends use the chrome books for the first time.
Period 4 we'll be doing a little math...practising using 10 frames to make 10 and trying to sharpen our addition skills with 2 and 3 digit addition.
Period 5 and 6 is the Terry Fox
NOTES:
-Grade 4's go with Mrs. Sylvester and Mrs Flindall's Grade 4's to the Ancaster Rocks and Minerals show tomorrow...remember to bring a 'disposable' lunch. If you want, you MAY bring some money to buy a small souvenir. Bus is leaving first thing....don't be late!

September 26th
Another good day...
Here's what we did (so far)
Period 1: We worked on our Laurel Busch Cats for red-light.
Then we started a new read aloud, The Tale of Despereaux (there is a movie for this book we'll watch after we finish the book...please don't let your kids watch it first).
Then we did some independent reading.
Period 2 we practise for our first fire drill on Friday....we did 'okay'...we still need to practise.
Period 3 The 4's went to French and the Grade 3's and I worked on navigating the Glenview P.S. website to find my blog...we'll be using it tomorrow when we teach our Grade 1 buddies.
Period 4 we watched this video, because my SK son told me we had to:

Then we did science...the Grade 4's worked on the chromebooks to investigate the 3 types of rocks after watching this video:
The Grade 3's continue working on their force experiment...determining if lifting or pulling requires more force.
Period 5 we have gym...we'll continue to work on our collaboration and locomotion with a new version of 'skittles'.
Period 6 we have music with Mrs. Haynes.
NOTE...tomorrow is the TERRY FOX run periods 5 & 6... please dress accordingly. Grade 4's have their field trip to Ancaster Rocks and Minerals show on Friday. All day.

Listening & Watching Reading (online books)
We'll need these sites when we read with our Grade 1 buddies...feel free to use them at home too!
AND
Wednesday September 25th
...another long rainy day, almost done...
Period 6 we had music with Mrs. Haynes.
Here's what we did today
Period 1 we worked on our coloured square addition for red light. Then we had a quick community circle to talk about improving our Kiva.
Next we did some shared reading to Island In the Sun and watched this video:
Period 2 we came up with ideas for when we're done writing, then rocked our Writer's workshop.
Period 3 we looked at adding 2 and 3 digit numbers using the standard algorithm...we did this worksheet. I would say about 1/3 of the class really struggled with this...might want to practise at home!!!
Period 4 after some hard thinking, we played battlemath and/or coloured square.
Period 5 we had another circle sharing what we can do to improve our learning skills and KIVA. Then we worked on our Laurel Busch Cat pictures. We spent the last few minutes watching Wayside School is Falling Down (we finished the book today)
Period 6 we had music with Mrs. Haynes.

Monday September 24th
I'm trying to be proactive....so I'm blogging first thing.
Today (and hopefully every Monday) we are having a good friend of mine, Mrs. Perks, come in and volunteer in the classroom in the morning. Mrs. Perks is a retired Educational Assistant from Orchard Park, and she is amazing.
She'll be helping us with Art this morning (she's a terrific artist). We also have music period 1. Period 2 we'll continue working on our Art.
Period 3 -we'll do our 'weekend round up' then have some time for reader's/writer's workshop. The kids will have the choice to read or write.
Period 4 the Grade 4's go to French, the 3's are going to stay here and work on literacy...using google classroom. We'll check out this website:
Period 5 we're going to have a quick number talk on making 10...and do a little refresher course on how to add single and double digit math.
Period 6 I'm hoping the Grade 4's can do an independent science experiment where they look closesly at some rocks and minerals, and use provided vocabulary to describe them...while the 3's continue on with their math.
Just a reminder...Terry Fox run is on Thursday...period 5. We've already raised $2000 online...raffle tickets are still available first break...
Also...please check the previous post about interview times if you haven't already signed up.
