Thank you to the parents who sent in food for our class party!
The students enjoyed a few rounds of BINGO and some competitive, but fun, Minute to Win It games.
Rocket Towers
Ghost Poop Pick Up
The students continued writing their "sloppy copy" monster paragraphs. After they completed their writing, they met with me to conference and edit their work. They also coloured the title page for their projects which they will finish next week by writing out a good copy of their descriptive story.
We read "Crankenstein" by Samantha Berger and the students had the opportunity to talk about what makes them feel cranky. After brainstorming, they were asked to write one sentence about what bothers them the most. They also completed a craft, making their own "Crankenstein", to remind them that even though little things make us cranky, we can choose to turn our day around!
MATH
The students continued working on place value and naming the value of digits. For example, in the number 356, the 3 has a value of 300, the 5 has a value of 50 and the 6 has the value of 6.
We also started a "Math Mystery" called "Jumpy Jack-O-Lanterns". The students were introduced to a case about pumpkins who were overtaking a town. They needed to be detectives to figure out who was responsible for the jumpy jack-o-lanterns. After solving each clue, they crossed off suspects until they finally solved the crime. The students completed patterning, place value, addition/subtraction and word problem questions.
SOCIAL
We started taking a quick look at each of the seven continents. After watching a short video, the students pulled out important facts to make a web and then they were asked to write three sentences about the continent. This week, we looked at North America and South America.
AMAZING RACE
