Today we added yesterday's and today's high and low temperatures to our daily temperature graphs. When we were at the carpet Olivia shared how to find the difference between the high and low temp for yesterday
( 15C / 11C) and Jasper explained his technique for today ( 20C/ 10C). We then worked at completing our Dinner Guest writing activity.
Students had drama/DPA with Ms. Leung. After recess we went directly to Dr. Weinstangel and continued to compose music. Everyone had an instrument ( glockenschpeils, xylophones, triangles, drums, finger cymbals, tambourines, etc) and they explored the difference in playing a lullaby and a march. They later looked at how a story can help compose a song. We looked a Jack's day ( sleep, alarm, dress, brush teeth, eat, walk to school, play, school bell) and played our instruments and made sounds to go with it.
After lunch we worked on planning our paragraphs. Each group was given an object and they had to use their 5 senses to describe the object for their group. Then they used "the hamburger" to write the topic sentence and add supporting detail. Next week, they will do a rough copy of a paragraph from their hamburger plan. We did another round of Math activities before recess.
After recess we did Social Studies and talked about "what is a community?" We worked with elbow partners to share our ideas with each other. After hearing everyones ideas, partners worked out a new definition and wrote it on a paper strip. Here are some examples....
" A community is stores, parks, schools, houses, roads and highways."
" A community is a group of people with houses and with a school."
"A community is an organized neighbourhood where people communicate."
"A community is a big city that has lots of schools,people, houses, drugstores,markets and
restaurants."
"A community is a place that has parks and everyone gets along, where people play and make
new friends."
" A community is a place for dogs."
