Notes/Mail- Home reading

Math Centres- We were able to make it through 2 rotations today.

Science- We worked at finishing our pictures of how humans sometimes hurt animals (Cutting down their forests so they end up displaced.) And how humans sometimes help animals (Things like caring for an orphaned animal and releasing it back to the wild once it has been rehabilitated.) Once we finished that picture, the students went under the student announcement section of Seesaw and watched the animals and what they eat video, and then played the matching game. Students who are self isolating can draw their own helping/hurting picture and send it to Seesaw. They can also watch the animal video and play the game. (Both of these are under the student inbox)

Daily 5 Listen to Reading – Chapter 11 of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Parents of students who are self isolating: Here is the book online. If you want to keep up with our readings, you can read the chapter that we are on! By the way, I change the word ‘sledge’ to sled so the kids know what I’m talking about!

Read to Self- We made it 12 minutes, 4 seconds today!

Work on Writing- The students worked on their book today. Today we wrote about the problem in their story. For example, last day we worked on the character’s goal. The mean witch in the class’s story wanted to win a trophy. So today, the class decided that the problem of the story was that our witch was going to cheat.  Our example sentences today said… “One day there was a race in town. The witch decided she was going to cheat.” Next class we will add onto the problem of how the witch decided to cheat. Parents of students who are self isolating: You can have your child write their sentences down on paper or in a Seesaw post and send it to me through Seesaw. They can copy these sentences into their book when they are back to school.
