A few updates from our 2nd week:
- In Daily 5, we have started the WORK ON WRITING station. Students have been given a sheet with various reading response prompts so that when they are working on writing, they can choose the book & reading prompt they are interested to write about. The students understand that an important component of 'work on writing' is to underline words that they are unsure of the spelling and move on. They can check spelling after they have written their response.
- The students also continue to enjoy READ TO SELF and have really mastered this station! The students have been building their STAMINA and are up to 30 minutes of uninterrupted reading. In the picture below, you can see book bins by the students. The students are able to choose any 5 books to keep in their book bin at a time so that they have a variety of choices when it is time for Daily 5. Way to go readers!
- In Math, we have decided to begin with Chapter 2- Numeration. Please refer to Nelson Math for homework help, practice questions and games for most lessons that are taught in class. For every chapter in Math, there will be many hands on group activities, homework from the Workbook (if not completed in class), a mid chapter quiz and a final test. Below are pictures of the students working in groups on a math question, presenting their answers and understanding that there are many various strategies that can be used to solve a Math problem!
- Our Student Teacher, Ms. OB, introduced a wonderful Art activity for the students which involved making masks about themselves!
- The students were very excited for our weekly raffle celebration on Friday! Remember, the more raffle tickets you have in the bucket, the higher the probability of your name being called :)
- Finally, a big congratulations to our STUDENTS OF THE WEEK so far: MIA & CAMILA! Way to go girls!!
Have a wonderful week everyone & keep up the EXCELLENT work students :)
There may be smaller posts throughout the week so keep checking. There will always be a weekly update Sunday or Monday.
Thanks for reading!
