Good Morning Parents,
To kick things off for today's blog post I just wanted to mention that this week's journal will be going home today, but it will not be due until next Friday because we have two shortened weeks.
Today the students worked effectively on their spelling exercises and grammar activity of "silent /c/". They took risks when determining words that had the same meaning as happy, sad, and cold. The children were instructed on how to use and research words using a thesaurus. The class worked collaboratively and communicated their findings in a caring manner.
After, grammar the children continued with Language Arts and their reading of "Freckle Juice" and their comprehension questions. They balanced their time and were successful in completing their tasks.
In Mathematics the children had a blast discovering how to measure perimeter of shapes that I placed around the class. By keeping an open mind they opened their thinking up to how to find the distance around something. They discovered that by adding all sides will give you the perimeter of an object! Dynamite Three Part Lesson!
In the afternoon, the students continued with their "Texture" Unit in Visual Arts, by creating a personal collage.
Following Art the students worked on their printing of "G" and "Fitness Benefits"
