During math we are dividing into 3 smaller guided groups and working on our daily warm up word problem, and math 4 ways - choosing cards and combining them to make addition, subtraction, multiplication and - only if we want a challenge! - division.
During writing and reading we are also dividing into smaller groups so Mrs. Armour can have more check in time with all of us!
Writing workshop - we are doing t/j/p/r this week for cursive writing. We are continuing to work on our "opinion writing" learning that it's a little different than the hamburger writing. We need to use the words, "In my opinion" or "I believe" or "I think" in the beginning and ending sentences.
Mrs. Polski is coming in to listen to our "opinion writing" on Thursday, so we are working hard to edit them and practice reading them to convince her our opinion is right! :) Most of us started new guided reading books today. Ask me what I read and if I can answer the 5W questions.
We are also reading stories about Chinese Lunar New Year. Did you know it is the Year of the Rat?
Ask me what Sam decided to do with his $4.00 in the book we read today, Sam and the Lucky Money by Karen Chinn. Yesterday we read Chinese New Year's Dragon by Rachel Sing.
We took a break from basketball and had gym outside today because it was SO mild and lovely.
While we were working on our Calgary Timeline posters, we had a fire drill! Even though some of us were in the Library and some of us were in the classroom and not even the teachers knew about it - Mrs. Polski said we all got out in under a minute!!
We discussed what we had added to our posters at the end of the day. Once we are done our posters we will make a whole class timeline from before 1911 - 2021! Then we will make a slideshow to present.
This mild weather is supposed to continue through Fresh Air Friday, so we are looking forward to being outside for a lot of the morning and comparing the Group of 7 landscapes that we created in art with those around us and choosing a "picture" to sketch. Thanks for dressing for the weather.
Looking ahead to next week - reminder that Friday, January 31st is a non-instructional day.
