Today we started with the morning message without punctuation. The students wrote their answers on a sheet of paper as we read the message. We talked about doing what is asked by a teacher,( unless it is unreasonable) without arguing or talking back. I also asked for students to make suggestions to their classmates to make improvements. I then gave the class a quick Math skills sheet. They had 1.5 min. to complete as many addition questions as they could , and another 1.5 min to complete some subtraction questions. This is something that could be reviewed at home ( adding/subtracting to 10). We then lined up for Gym with Mr. Costa.
After recess we did our Math activites, graphing, geometry ( box building), area, and adding and subtracting.
After lunch we started off by doing our literacy activities. One group worked with Ms. Jean on retelling a story in writing, another worked on adjectives, one group did penmanship, and the final group completed their force and friction sheet. We then worked hard to finish our penpal letters. We did the final copy, added stickers, drew pictures, and addressed the envelopes. Hopefully we can send them off next week, as a few students are still working on their rough copy.
After recess, we plugged away at completing the letters, and those completed were encouraged to get a head start on the Spelling homework for tonight, as it is due tomorrow.
HOMEWORK: Spelling 18 due to be handed in.
