We did our temperature graphs and read the morning message. We reviewed some measurement terms and talked about measuring things using a ruler... always starting at zero. We also looked at millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres and talked about how are system is based on the number 10. We will keep talking about this.
After recess we traced our hands and practiced making measurements of the length and width of our fingers and hands. When does it make sense to use mm and when do we use cm?
After lunch we worked at completing our expository paragraphs. We are putting our ideas from our organizer onto lined paper and will start editting. Many students are not happy with rewriting something more than once. I will continue to stress the importance of revising and editting written work.
We then completed our Literacy Activities and read another chapter from Matilda.
After recess, we completed our spelling test and began Lesson 12 which is a review lesson.
HOMEWORK: Spelling Lesson 12. alpha-order, syllables.
