Today we started off in the Gym and played 2-ball soccer. It was competitive and emotional, but the good thing was things ended in a tie.
When we came back to class we reviewed punctuation and letter form. We then reviewed what we learned about place value but used money loonies, dimes and pennies instead of base-ten blocks.
After recess, we did more Math. We started to look at time and we learned about analog and digital clocks. We also learned time words that will be used in the upcoming weeks. (second, minute, hour, day week, month, year). We wrote the definitions in our Math books so we can refer to them later.
After recess, we did Writing Workshop. We looked at each other's character's and settings and today we decided on the problem and solution that our character would have. We then started to write the first draft of our story. There are some great stories in the works... stay tuned. Ms. Jean came to visit us for the last time until April, because she has a new placement. She showed us video messages from our penpals in Korea. They videos were very nice, and the penpals tried very hard with their English. It was nice to see the people behind the pens.
After recess we practiced for our video production tomorrow with Kyral's parents. We got into our groups, practiced our descriptions and words and actions that we want to include in the video which is being taped tomorrow morning. I sent a paper home asking students to wear "jazzy" outfits to be in the video if they wish.
REMINDER: If you haven't already done so, could you please return the cut-ff portion of the report card.
Thank you.
