We realized we only have 3 and a half days to finish up our Festive trees and poems so we started right into our word work after Mrs. Armour read the book Cold Snap. It had a lot of great describing words in it like ears tingled, frosty cheeks, and dangling icicle. We discussed nouns being things we can see and touch like ears, cheeks and icicles. Describing words, or adjectives are those words that show us instead of just telling us about the noun. We brainstormed nouns for Winter/Christmas words for taste, smell and feel and then worked on our "special sentences" for our Winter Poem.
Remind us to look for describing words in our stories that we read and listen to.
Today in gym we played
ringette. Girls played on one side, boys on the other. We put benches in the
middle so the ring didn’t go to the other side. Hockey has the blade on the
stick and ringette only has a straight pole.
This afternoon we continued tracing our hands to
make a paper tree. We are using our poems about winter and Christmas to make
ornaments, like “I hear Santa’s bells on the roof” or “I smell hot chocolate.” We are working on using interesting words to describe the noun.
Green group is helping with
blog this week. Our amaryllis plant grew 10cm over the weekend!! We think having a south facing window is a good thing for plants.
