Week #3

Hello parents and students.

What an awesome week!  I told the class today that I'm really impressed with everyone and the positive direction we are going as a community of learners.  Thank you for your hard work this week students and thank you parents for your support.  We had a busy week this week.  Below is a list of the things we worked on.  Please take some time to become familar with the learning support links on the left hand side of the blog.

Math- continued to develop an appreciation for place value and number sense.  We learned a variety of math games using dice and cards.  We also had our first Math quiz that covered number sense ideas.
Language Arts- we continued to build our stamina in Daily 5 and we are currently working towards 3 choices: read to self, work on writing and word work.  Today we completed our spelling test and we will start looking at reading strategies during our Pod time.
Science- We continued to work through the Scientific method by completing a Soap/Milk/Food colouring experiment
Gym- we played the following games, eraser football, stones, shipwreck and bench ball
Art- we made monster bookmarks and we just started our blue prints for our arcade games.  We will start building our games in the Art room on Monday.  Please come to school with the materials you need to start your Arcade game.  Do not spend and money on materials!!!!
Drama- we learned some new games: horseshoe, senso sketch.
HCE- weekly goal, good decision making, WITS

Please tell your parents about our  Thursday Assembly.  Talk to them about the formula to success.

Success = P + T + a2

Have a wonderful weekend!
