Today we completed our temperature graphs and also did a Journal response on recounting our weekend. We focused on telling things in order while keeping in mind what we learned about paragraphs, ie. topic sentence and supporting details. We then did our morning message.
We went to Gym. After Gym we worked on Math activities. We started to look at linear measurement and are using non-standard units to find length and width of our desks and notebooks. Another group continued with rounding numbers and are now using rounding numbers to find reasonable answers to addition and subtraction questions. In geometry we are reviewing sides, vertices and angles and classifying shapes. The final group is working on patterning or completing unfinished work from last week.
After lunch we did independent reading, and Ms. Jean demonstrated how to write a friendly letter and identified the key parts of a letter. The date, salutation, body and closing.
We then divided into our Literacy Groups. We worked on answering questions based on a reading, in Grammar we looked for examples of nouns in magazines and newspapers, we did penmanship and the last group worked on another copy of a poster of an issue important to them for media literacy. Some students began their good copy of their posters.
In the last period we had a spelling test, and began to work on Lesson 9.
HOMEWORK: Spelling Lesson 9 copy words, alpha-order, syllables
Journal: recount of weekend ( Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday).
