Today another one of our students celebrated a birthday! Happy birthday wishes were shared.
We began our morning by looking at a Global News article and answering the following question: What clues will this artifact give scientists about the past? Students came up with lots of interesting ideas:
With Miss Nanavaty we did a little more dancing. It was our last day for dance. We did dance play, where we listen to instructions provided while listening to the music. We are completing our good copy of our story that goes along with our pictographs. Our rough draft was where we got our ideas onto the paper. When we complete a good copy we are editing (using C.O.P.S.) and revising (making our work better). Our good copies of our pictographs are almost complete as well. In math we worked together to develop a new rule for multiplying by 3. When we multiply by three we use repeated addition or skip counting by 3s. We also learned how to use a multiplication chart!!! Music was a tad late.... oops! We listened to a song called "We are the World" and a few students got solos. During read aloud we learned that Ivan is coming up with a plan to help free Ruby from her life at the mall. Part of his project was discovered by Mack and he is afraid that it might happen again. He is very angry as he remembers how the humans captured him and killed his parents. In the afternoon students began their posters for the science presentations that they will be doing later this week. They have a checklist to make sure they are including all the important facts about their topic. Winter Activity Day is tomorrow. Students will be traveling around different outside stations run by the teachers. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather. Also if your child has not completed the yearly chart for their "Winter Count" please return it with them tomorrow. We will begin this activity in writing.
