Thursday November 30th

 Last day of November...that's insane!

Here is the plan today:

Period 1 -Reader's workshop- I'm hoping everyone who didn't finish the first step of our coding from yesterday can finish up.

Period 2 is writer's workshop - We'll focus on 'matching the right writer's voice to the right purpose.

Period 3 is Gym with Mr. D

Period 4 is Math- we'll begin work on 3D solids....naming and identifying them all.

Period 5 is buddies with Mrs. Ever's class -we'll finish our interviews and continue searching the hidden pictures. 

Period 6 is a finish up period...we have math, coding and some language to finish up on.

Wednesday November 29th

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 -reader's workshop: Mini lesson will focus on breaking words apart and putting them back together again.

Period 2 is writer's workshop:  Mini lesson will continue to focus on removing 'trash' details from our writing.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll finish up the symmetry and quadrilateral work from yesterday.  We'll do some questions on prodigy and I'll show them some fun symmetry websites.

Period 5 is music with Mrs. Haynes.

Period 6 we'll dig a little deeper into coding and begin work on 'coding an interactive book cover'.  It's an intense course, but I think we'll have some fun with it.

Tuesday November 28th

 Here is the plan for this cold Tuesday.

Period 1 -Reader's workshop.  Mini lesson will focus on 'flexible sounds', we'll talk about how vowels make both long and short sounds and how we should try both figure out words.

Period 2 -writer's workshop.  Mini lesson will focus on 'trash or treasure' details.  We'll discuss which details about T-Rex's are trash or treasure...and focus only the most important/interesting details in our writing.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll finish up 2D shapes today looking at 'symmetry' and the different types of quadrilaterals.  We'll play these games and do some work to consolidate our learning.

Period 5 will be some printing practice....letters C, O, G, Q and S.

Period 6 is music with Mrs. Haynes.

 I can't believe it's the last week of November!

Here is the plan for toay:

Period 1 -Red light (set game), Read aloud, Weekend Round Up.

Period 2 -student choice -reader's writer's workshop.

Period 3 we'll look a little closer at 2D shapes...specifically the difference between similar and congruent. 

we'll do this work:

Period 4 I have a lot of questions on prodigy set up...hopefully we'll have some time for a blooket too.

Period 5 is French with Mme. O'Neil

Period 6 I'm going to leave for free time.  

Thursday November 23rd

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 and 2 is reader's/writer's workshop - student choice (treating today like a Friday).  We also have to do our book fair shopping first period.

Period 3 is gym with Mr. D...hopefully they can get to the church for gym class...dependent on whether the path is accessible or not.

Period 4 is math.  We'll review 2D shapes and look at 3D shapes.

Period 5 is computer buddies with Mrs. Ever's class.  We'll be interviewing our buddies to get to know them a little better.

Period 6 we'll cruise into the long weekend (and my long night) with a little free time.  

Reminder - Tomorrow is a PD day (no school for kids)

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  We'll work on choosing topics to write about.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll review the names of 2D shapes and their attributes (e.g., a square has 4 sides and 4 vertices).  I have an assignment on google classroom as well as a blooket planned.

Period 5 is Music/Drama with Mrs. Haynes.  

Period 6 is Science.  We'll look at our levitating magnets STEM challenge...check out what some of us have done so far: levitating magnets.  If there's time we'll look at Friction...what it is and how it affects us.  

Tuesday November 21st

 Here is the plan for today:

Period 1 is our turn to tour the book fair and make our wish lists (we shop on Thursday)

Period 2 is reader's/writer's workshop.  We'll continue on with our 'main idea' paragraphs.

Period 3 and 4 is math.  I'm hoping to do a 'time scavenger hunt' around the school.  Any extra time we have we'll jump on to knowledgehook or prodigy.

Period 5 we'll continue our 'STEM' magnet challenge from yesterday.

Period 6 is music with Mrs. Haynes.
