We began our day with a visit to the library. While there we did a book exchange and also made good-bye cards for Ms. Jean. She only has two more days left.
When we returned to the class we did our temperature graphs, correctly spelled our mistakes from the Spelling test and also worked on penmenship.
After recess we did some review of congruency and fact families.
After lunch we started to work on our expository writing. The students were given a graphic organizer to help them organize their ideas. Students had a choice of what to write about and agree or disagree with that statement.
1) Students should be in bed before 8pm.
2) Students should wear uniforms to school. or
3) Area 203 needs to improve their learning skills.
Each student was asked to make a title, a then write their opinion statement. After that, we came up with our first reason to support our opinion. Tomorrow we will work on supporting details, and start reason 2.
We then did a healthy eating activity. Ms. Jean directed the students to create a healthy meal using food flyers, magazines etc. and think about proper servings and eating from food groups. After recess, we worked in our Literacy groups. Grade 3's did a soil experiment and will complete it tomorrow.
