 Here is the plan for today:


Period 1 we'll read aloud The Rats of Nimh.  Then share highlights of our weekends during 'weekend round up'.  

Period 2 we'll look a little more at hyperboles, do some work on them, then use the rest of the time for reader's/writer's workshop

Period 3 I'm hoping to do a little social studies.  Talk about how life would've been different in the 1890's, then listen to a first nations story called 'Buffalo Bird Girl' and talk about life in the 1890's for some first nation groups. 

Period 4 we'll do a little more EQAO practise on knowledgehook and math prodigy.

Period 5 is music with Mrs. Haynes

Period 6 I think we will join Mr. Butt's class and watch the final episode of Read All About It.


REMINDER - this Wednesday is Swim to Survive.
