Make sure you are reading at home and coming to show me so I can hand out hockey cards!
Movember donations graciously accepted by the students at lunch time just outside the learning commons. I can also take them from students to submit votes as well. Just to clarify, votes are for the worst mustache! If you want to see Mr Lancee with dyed hair and mustache then vote for him!
Wednesday, Dec. 4 the Grades 1, 2, and 3 classes will perform for our winter concert!
Friday Nov 29 is the November Pillars of Care Assembly!
Just a reminder to make sure students are doing mathletics at home! I posted new assignments today :)
The Blend this week is CH!
Today in room 5!
We began our day with our morning meeting. After the usual month, day, weather and number of days in school we practiced counting to 100 by 10's and 5's. Students got a kick out of turning their backs to the screen to count to 100 without looking!
After morning meeting we had some quiet reading time in which I was able to read with some students. I am impressed by the growth this year in room 5 and how students are developing their independence.
After gym and some two handed catCHing lessons for basketball we transitioned into snack. While the students munCHed and crunCHed I read them the first chapter of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. After reading the students did a character sketch and added adjectives to write about Charlie!
During math today the students did their tri-weekly basic facts followed by some math games using our hundreds charts. Race to 100 and hundreds chart battleship were a huge hit!
In the afternoon the students did a large science experiment in which they tested the strengths of magnets. We used metal circles, screws, and paperclips as our materials to test!
The magnets we used were:
The block magnet had a handle which we called the wand.
Students predicted the amount of metal each magnet would pick up and then tested their magnet to find the result. The students were so excited see if their predictions would come true!
We finished off the day with an indoor recess before heading to music!
Hope everyone has a nice evening and stays warm :)
Mr Lancee
