As usual, we graphed the daily high and low temperature and today Mikayla lead the morning message. Students added missing punctuation to message. After we completed that we did our Math activities.
One group focused on repeated addition and mulitiplication sentences, one group did questions from the Math textbook on multiplication, one group practiced using a calculator for addition and subtraction and the final group used lego to build simple structures of given dimensions. e.g.) Build a structure 8cm high and 6 cm wide. They then drew scale drawings on centimetre grid paper in their math books.
After recess, each student wrote a persuasive letter to a friend that declined an invitation to a party they were hosting. We focused on letter form, persuasive writing (reasons and support) and proper writing conventions.
After recess we did DPA with Mr. Brutto, and read more of Matilda. Baby Teagan came today. We observed her and noticed how happy she was today. We also sang a lullaby to see how it soothed her. We measured her and found that she had grown 2cm and is now 63cm. We also noticed that in 3 weeks since her last visit that she is able to hold her head up without much support.
After recess we went to the computer lab. and used Word to type the letters we composed this morning. We practiced saving a document into our own file, change font and use conventions like two spaces after a period. We need some more practice with keyboarding. One finger typing takes a really long time!
