IMPORTANT DATES February 22: Spirit Day - Olympics! - Wear red and white! February 26: Elder Shirley Hill February 28: Pink Shirt Day OUR DAY Today was the 100th day of school, meaning we have 80 days left. Students began their day playing around with their words, and then writing the rough copy of their Pen Pal Letter. When the majority of students have finished their rough copy, I will be going over the C.O.P.S editing strategy with them.
After Music, we worked some more on our math strategy. I remind the students that the class is a safe place to always ask for help or to come to me when they don’t understand something. I believe the students are knowing this, as more hands are coming up. With that, more students were able to show a better understanding in their learning. Huzzah! We went out for recess today! It was a wee bit chilly, but the sunshine sure felt good! After reading some more from the book The Math Curse and tuna, we did some more Peruvian picture walking, weaving, and listening to stories and music. Fun Lunch happened today. Before gym, we read some Six-Room poetry that some grade 3s and 4s had written, and reflecting on what could make the poems better. The big consensus was adding in more detail. We will continue to look at the poems, and seeing how we can fit it into the rooms. We also decided we will do a whole class Six-Room writing together. I will have the students write down the brainstorming ideas, and then they will create a poem from the room phrases. I am excited to read the 24 different poems from the same notes. After gym, we focussed on learning a reader’s response journalling technique. A shot passage was read, and the first thing we tackled was underlining words we don’t know and then finding out their meaning. When the meaning of all the unknown words has been figured out, a reread will happen. From there, students will identify setting (time and place). This will end in an illustration with students justifying their choices with evidence from the text. I will be gone all day tomorrow at my third Indigenous Education session, with Mrs Bezugley. Ms Temple will be here in my place. Cheerios! Ms Lauf Comments are closed.
