September 11, 2017

Today we started our day off with our assembly.

After assembly we wrote agendas in which the notes were:
  • Bring in headphones (these can be purchased cheap at the Dollar store as well)
  • Trip Form
  • Read for 20 minutes
  • Student handbook form (this was in the Welcome e-mail I sent out in August)
  • Math (if students didn't finish in class)
    • pg 19 Questions 1,2,3,4,5
    • Extension: 6,7
  • Spelling (if students didn't finish in class)
  • Cursive(pg 8-9) (ignore this for today, we did not get to do this today but since students write agendas first thing in the morning they already wrote it)
After they went to PE with Mrs. Jans

When they came back we started our patterning and problem solving unit looking at grouping and counting to 100. To start off I gave each group several objects to group and count.

Two groups had beads
One group had clothespins
One group had paper clips

The students were able to group their objects into groups of ten working as a team and realised that they can add on the left over objects that weren't enough for a group of 10. We then went to work in our textbooks and notebooks and I realised that before they worked straight in math workbooks so we took some time to talk about how to work and write math in our new notebooks. Presentation and pace is still up and coming!

We also had a whole-school announcement today to commemorate the events of September 11. The students were very interested in hearing about it.

After math we went for first lunch and recess.

After recess we took some time to finish up math, unfinished work has been sent home.

Next, we started our spelling. (Please see the section on the right for our spelling words this week) We worked on missing consonants, completing sentences, a crossword, and making sentences.

This week's spelling words are:
1) fox
2) cut
3) hill
4) wind
5) put
6) all
7) moon
8) saw
9) tell
10) new

Next, we went to French with Mme. Stella.

After we had second lunch and recess.

After recess we had our unit of inquiry. We looked at the roles of key members in our community. We defined what a community is and brainstormed some community helpers before going on the tablets to investigate community helpers and their roles. 






Cheers to a great Monday! Eat healthy and get lots of rest. :)
