Today in room 5:

We started off our day with our usual calendar. Outside of our daily routine we have been recording temperatures each day and comparing them using language such as, hotter than and colder than. I have been working daily with the students to practice our skip counting using 2, 5 and 10.
Students have had success with counting on starting from zero. We have been working to start from a random number and then counting by 2, 5, and 10.
For example:
We roll a dice to get a two digit number, then we count on three times from there!

Try it at home:)

Count by 2's
45, ____, _____, _____
37, ____, _____, _____

Count by 5's
17,____, _____, _____
38 , ____, _____, _____

Count by 10's
34, ____, ____, _____
59 , ____, _____, _____

For word work today we used our aw blend in partners to match aw words to a sentence. Students had great success with this!

Ex. The man used a mower to cut his _____.   pawn      lawn

Students had to circle and write the correct word next to each sentence!

After gymnastics we had some writing time in which we finished off our "If you're not from the prairies stories". I will be marking them soon for parents to see!

When students finished they were able to work on our prairie mural. We worked as a team to create plants, buildings and iconic features from the prairies.

In the afternoon we had mindfulness followed by some quiet reading time. I am pushing students to read books at and slightly above their level using some of our reading strategies.
Make sure you are reading at home families :)


I gave students time to do mathletics in the afternoon working on their assignments before heading off to recess and finally music.

 I will be announcing the pillar of care winners tomorrow in class!

I hope everyone has a great evening!
