Word Problems, Rainbows, and Fairy Tales


Notice: Science Test on Light on Mon., Jan. 14
Math quiz on Subtraction on Tues., Jan. 15
Thank you Mr. W for uploading the photos for us!


In Math we corrected yesterday's math homework, then worked on subtraction word problems with a partner. Awesome job to all of those students who took their math home yesterday and finished it for homework.

In Science we made rainbows with prisms, and drew a rainbow with the full spectrum of colours and labeled it with the acyrnom ROY G BIV to help everyone remember the colour order.

In Novel Study we listened to 2 chapters read aloud while colouring the rainbows.
In Langauge Arts, we continued with our story writing unit by reading classic fairy tales with a partner and, as a class, brainstorming characteristics of traditional fairy tales. We ended the morning by reading The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig. Next week we'll read more fractured fairy tales with modern twists before the students write their own modern fairy tale. Students are really excited about this unit and are enthusiastic about writing their own tale next week.
Mrs. S.
