LITERACY
This week, we brought our Social Studies topic into our Literacy time! The students enjoyed taking their notes on their favourite continent and creating an idea map about their top reasons for wanting to visit that continent. Once they were finished their mind map, they set out to work on their paragraphs. The students did a great job! They have grown so much as writers over the past few weeks and I'm super proud of them! I had a quick writing conference with each student and we did some simple trouble shooting (capitalizing proper nouns, putting your sentences in an order that makes sense, making sure you write complete sentences, etc) with their rough drafts. Their last job was to type their paragraph into a Google Doc, add a picture and share it with me. Many of the students are finished this assignment.
During read aloud, we started a new book called Dinosaur Cove: Attack of the Tyrannosaurus! The kids are loving it so far! Ask them to retell the story to you!
NUMERACY
In math this week, we looked at comparing numbers, putting numbers in order and properly using the > and < signs. The students have all grasped these concepts with minimal support! We will finish up this topic on Monday and have a "show what you know" (aka quiz) before heading into some more place value work that sets them up nicely for trading and borrowing with addition and subtraction.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
This week the students enjoyed Mission Impossible in the gym! The course was challenging but they loved it!
