Today Ms. Jean started in our class. She will be with us all of November. She is from OISE. She worked for several years teaching in Korea and India. She taught a range of ages from Kindergarten to High School. We are very lucky to have another adult in our class.
We went to Gym with Mr. Costa. In Math we worked on patterning using a 100's chart, in Geometry we created leaves using geometric shapes to attach to the angles we made last week. We continued to work on expanded form, and the last group worked on subtraction using base ten blocks, if needed.
After lunch the children wrote to Ms. Jean about themselves and their preferred learning styles. Each student wrote about their favourite and least favourite subjects, whether they prefer learning alone or in groups, and also how they like to learn. Do they learn best by reading, doing, making , or watching videos? It will help both of us program effectively for each student. We did our Literacy activities. In Grammar we looked at the naming and telling parts of sentences ( also know as subject and predicate), one group worked on penmenship, others continued to find answers to questions they have on the science topics ( today was soil) and one group read with me and answered questions based on their reading.
We had a spelling test, and we had new words for lesson 6. I chose theme words from Science and Social Studies since the words in the text were review. The words we have are air, water, soil, pollution, living, people, urban, rural, community, store, park, home, map. We copied them down and did alpha- order and syllables during class time.
