Hello...Brrrr...this is starting to become too common. I know we live in Canada, but I can't remember a year that we have had soooo many indoor recesses. Poor kids (poor teachers :)). We are all surviving though...and it can and must eventually get warmer, right?
I hope that you had a chance to take a look at your child's report card. I've been impressed with this class. We continue to work on giving our best at all times, becoming more independent and staying focused. But, for the most part we are en route to achieving our best and it seems as though everyone is happy to be at school. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Our words of the week are contractions this week. Students will be working with their words in small literacy groups. We have also been using the tool "Power Paragraphs" to organize our ideas into detailed paragraphs. Today we read a book that informed us about animal habits and comparisons to humans. Students were asked to take information from the book and practise writing their response in Power Paragraph form.
In Math we are working with 2D and 3D shapes. Students worked on designing a floor tile using triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons and hexagons. They were to colour in their design using a chromatic colour scheme.
Zumba finishes up this Friday- we have had a great time groovin' with Louise. She really is a fantastic and engaging instructor.
Thursday is Crazy Sock Day for House Points. Our class has taken on the responsibility of calculating and counting all the points from the classes. Its a great leadership opportunity for the kids and it is a great numeracy task. On Thursday we will also have a Character Assembly in the morning.
Ms. Rogers
