Sorry for not posting again yesterday. There was alot of excitement yesterday when we recieved the letters from our penpals from South Korea. We are looking at forms of writing over the next several weeks and this is an authentic way to understand letter writing and audience. It also integrates well into our Social Studies unit on communities around the world.
Today we completed our math activities and we are getting a good understanding of patterning, rounding and geometry, and just beginning to get an understanding of length and width with nonstandard units.
After recess we read a story about Remembrance Day and why it is important to think about the soldiers that have died and why we fight for freedom and peace. We watched a Youtube video that had images of flanders feild and other images of World War 1 and 2. Afterwards, we made wishes for the world on the silouette of a dove that will be posted on the walls for our assembly.
After lunch we talked about our oral presentations and Ms. Jean demonstrated what is expected by explaining the rubric and showing her 3 keepsakes. I am interested in seeing what students bring in.
We them did our literacy activities. We are creating posters, looking at nouns, answering questions, and working on penmanship. I hope we can begin cursive writing soon.
HOMEWORK: Spelling: Complete rhyming words.
