Monet and Weather Presentations

Math game
Mr. Wilson was away this afternoon and I taught the students for the whole day. Everyone worked quietly and used class time efficiently today. Awesome job everyone J Let’s keep it up.
Math game

Note taking in their own words
This morning students practiced handwriting, applied the spelling rule for countable objects ending in y (change y to i and add es if there is a consonant before the y), practiced adding in math, and started a Language Arts/Art unit on the artist Claude Monet. We started by reading information about Monet, highlighting important information, and learning one method of note-taking. Next week students will use those notes to write a summary of the article in their own words.
Before lunch we had time for 2 weather presentations, complete with weatherperson costumes and background pictures.
After lunch and an indoor recess, students had silent reading, went to Music, and presented their extreme weather report in Science. Several students were a bit nervous to present in front of the class but everyone did a great job, spoke clearly, and some had fun with it too. The costumes were great! The last 5 students can present on the next day I'm teaching them.

 


 

Reminders:

Remembrance Day Assembly on Thursday, 10:45 am. If students belong to Scouts, Girl Guides, or another organization where they wear a uniform, students are encouraged to wear them for the assembly.
Scholastic Book Orders are due tomorrow.
