Learning about our new pillar of the month: Perseverance
Today the students began their day with our usual ignite! Next time I will be bringing in play dough and clay to build with!
We then transitioned into doing our morning meeting where we discussed:
-The new month: December & Birthdays
-Pillar of the month
-Our plan for the day
-Weather
-Number of days in school
aaaaaand our new letter blend sh!
This week we will be starting spelling! 7-8 words with a couple bonus words. The spelling will not be for marks but it will support students in learning curriculum words and sight words to be used for projects and writing activities.
This weeks words:
she
name
are
book
said
what
want
Bonus Words:
magnet
natural
climate
resource
We then moved into word work where we focused on listening to a story about the sh blend and looked for words in our books. We brainstormed a large list to keep on our board for the week!
After gym and practicing different types of passes in basketball we had a snack before writing. Today I gave the students a chance to do some free writing. This type of writing allows students to freely write about any topic they want and from any perspective! Many students wrote about video games, favourite animals and what they do for fun in the winter.
During math, the students were given a place value assessment in which they had to use their understanding of tens and ones to find numbers on a number chart. They then extended their knowledge to identifying a specific digits place value and two word problems. We will be continuing this work tomorrow alongside exploring addition.
In the afternoon the students started their new routine of reading for the first half hour after lunch. With a fire crackling in the background the students enjoyed some time to calm and quiet before doing some art.
In art we used basic shapes and changing our technique with cutting to create different works of art.
These skills were used in cutting up different pieces of paper to make snowflakes for the winter concert.
Parents, I apologize for the mess if your children want to cut up the paper for this art project at home!
We ended the day with the earned time that students earned from Friday of last week.
Students used ipads to play mathletics, prodigy, word building and razkids. Students also had the option to draw, read or make some more snowflakes!
Overall a great day!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Mr Lancee
