Wednesday November 3 Day 1

Today we started off with completing our temperature graph, and also started with 20 minutes of Journal writing.  Today's topic was " Tell of a time when you helped someone solve a problem."  We will be doing a journal entry daily before reading our morning message.   We then did our Math activities which focused on rounding, patterning, naming and describing shapes and angles, and comparing numbers.

After recess we did a Media Literacy activity.   We were looking at posters and how they grab attention and convey messages.   We looked at several poster from around the school and found some common features.  Posters use bright colours, they have big printing, they have pictures and they share information.    We then did a rough plan of a poster we are going to make. Students got to choose something important to them they wanted others to learn about or become aware of.

After recess we did DPA  and when we returned we looked at the similarities and differences in letters.  We then did some reading and penmanship.  One group read with me, one group read with Ms. Jean and the others worked on penmanship.  After recess we switched groups.   In reading we are focusing on answering questions after reading a text.   We are learning to answer in full sentences.

HOMEWORK:  Journal:  A time I helped someone solve a problem.    ( try to get 10 sentences)
                          Read.
