Hello parents and students,
What a wonderful performance on Thursday. Way to go division 2, everyone did a wonderful job! --Only one more week until the break, let's keep it going. Report cards went home on Friday. Thank you for all of your hard work in term 1.
-Just a reminder to bring back your report card envelopes for a prize!
This week at Queneesh we covered the following:
Math- reviewed comparing and ordering fractions, reviewed comparing strategies: same denominators, same numerators, cross multiplication, using a bench mark. Used number lines to compare and order fractions. We also spent a few lessons on equivalent fractions. Please check out the blog for some great Fraction games.
LA- we compared revising to editing during our Writer's Workshop. We said think ARMS when revising: Add words/sentences, Remove unwanted words and sentences, Move sentences that are out of order and Substitute dead words (boring, overused words) with colourful words.
We said think of CUPS when editing: Capitalization, Usage, Punctuation, Spelling. We revised and edited one of our rough copies.
Reminder to bring your lit circle novels to school because I need to send them back on Wednesday. Other things covered: spelling test, Secret Santa letters, Daily 5 and book chats
Gym- Yoga, open gym and minor games in the Music room.
Art- decorated our classroom, made Secret Santa cards, decorated our Christmas tree/door and finished our stained glass projects.
French- discussed different types of weather and what to wear. Students will write French weather skits and film themselves using I-pads. We will watch our skits next week using our apple tv.
Science Tech- finished our Prezi's and Power Points about things we are interested in. We will present our presentations next Tuesday.
Have a wonderful week and see you on Friday!
Thank you to all of those students who brought in food for our food hamper. We filled our hamper!! Awesome job.
Mr. Tobacca
