Wishing all of my students and their families a very Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful time spent with family and friends!
Week at a Glance
We had a great start to our week by announcing Miss K as our classroom VIP. Throughout the week our class had the opportunity to get to know our VIP a little better. Thank you to Miss K for doing such an amazing job of her current events presentation!
This week the students worked very hard at completing the written components of the Student Learning Assessments, which included literacy and numeracy. They did a great job and I'm so proud of the students for giving the tests their best effort.
Language Arts
This week we used "The Most Thankful Thing" by Lisa McCourt as a mentor text for our writing project. After reading this story, the students discussed what they were most thankful for. They chose their top 10 "Most Thankful Things" and created "Taguls" on the Chrome Books. The students really loved this project.
Home Reading
Four more students were so excited to reach the 500 minute milestone in our home reading program and fly to India this week!
Reading Response
The students continue to enjoy sharing their reading response during our "Read to Self" block.
Math
This week in math we covered the follow goals:
- Continue a repeating pattern given its core.
- Find cores of repeating patterns.
- Make and extend patterns with blocks and squares.
Science
This week the students finished decorating their pet rocks. They will be spending some time next week writing about their pet rocks during writer's workshop.
We have also finished comparing various kinds of rocks, describing properties of rocks and minerals (colour, lustre, texture and hardness) and classifying rocks and minerals based on these properties. Next week we will start to study the rock cycle.
Art
This week we used the technique of "dot art" to create fall trees.
