Tuesday November 2 Day 5

We had another busy day in Area 203.    We had library first period and when we returned we did the temperature graph.  Afterwards we started to solve a math problem of the day.   We are looking at different ways of solving the same problem.   We also discussed using words, pictures and numbers to solve a problem.  

After recess we did our Math activities.   Ms. Jean continued with rounding numbers, Gr. 3's worked on number patterns, the other groups practices describing shapes and angles, and one group worked on comparing numbers using the <,  > and = symbols.

After lunch I attended a software workshop called Read and Write Gold.  I will give the information on how you can download it at home at parent-teacher interviews, or letter will be sent.   Ms. Jean did a cooperative activity that got students to look at different kinds of letters.  Each student had a job to do in the group.   Mr. Duwyn was in the class and read a story about how water gets to where it is going.

After recess we went outside for a Social Studies/Science activity.    The Grade 2's made a map of the school yard using symbols to indicate where the playground, stairs, garden etc. were located.  The Grade 3's collected soil samples from various locations and indicated on their maps were each sample was found.

Here is Jack's Map of the schoolyard.

HOMEWORK:  Spelling.   Lesson 8.  Write a sentence for each word.
