Today we began by solving a secret message. Students had to use the alphabet to decode a message that asked them what their favourite part of the DMC visit was yesterday and then make up their own message to have a friend solve. Science allowed students opportunities to conference with the teacher about the progress of their projects. They have been discussing next steps and looking at where gaps are in their presentation boards. Many of our students continue to need practice using long division. We worked on a division garden activity for most of the week and students that were not able to complete the task in the time provided this week were asked to take it home so that their families could help support them. Take a look at some examples below. We are very close to finishing our read aloud. In the chapter we read today, Moose is very driven to help his sister Natalie any way he can. He approaches the Warden and asks if he can pull some strings. If he can't do it, maybe Al Capone could? Moose is crushed when the Warden tells him no but, he does not give up. He is determined to help. Guided reading went very well. Students are typing up stories they have been working on and will be editing them next week. We also continue to work on comprehension questions while working in small groups. Talking about the deeper meaning to the text or what the author has implied. Lastly, we began an art project connected to our legacy work. We will be connecting some writing and some other artwork to put on our bulletin board.
Red communication folders were sent home with student work for parents to review. Please continue to bring in clothing if your child would like to participate in the clothing swap. Reminders: May 19 - PD Day (No School) May 22 - Victoria Day (No School)
