Today was a switch day at school so although it was really a Tuesday we were following Friday's schedule! The morning began with the morning smile that had the students doing a colour by number with adding money. The students were then off to drama which they were all very excited for! After nutrition break we read a story about "more or less" and discussed money number lines. The students then created their own money number lines using different coloured baggies with different coin amounts (added up each baggy and recorded it on a number line). The students all did a wonderful job and used their success criteria to make them super successful! We then read a chapter from Flat Stanley and brainstormed some ideas for our Flat Stanley letters. We are going to be writing our adventure paragraph of our letter tomorrow - so bring your creative ideas!
After the second nutrition break we had social studies and explored mini-globes that Miss Clarke bought at the dollar store. We discussed some new terms such as "equator" "North pole" "South pole" "Northern Hemisphere" and "Southern Hemisphere". The students are now globe specialists! For our last period of the day we had computers and we made our own word searches!
We are already half way done the week with it being a short week! As such, Ms. Fink and Miss Clarke have decided that the spelling test will be NEXT Friday, April 13th. So the students have lots of time to study and learn the meanings of the words - there, their, and they're. Miss Clarke will be doing a short lesson tomorrow on the differences and it would be wonderful if at home you could continue this review!
The only homework tonight was to
read, read, and read some more. We almost have all our mapping pages back so please send those back to school soon :) Also, Thursday is BUNNY day and Miss Clarke and Ms Fink are getting very excited for the fun filled day at school! So practice your bunny hops!
