Sept 28-Oct 2

Our last week of September has been a busy one.  Here is what we have been working on:

In Language Arts, students looked at a variety of pictures to decide how improving their

drawing could help them do a better job in their journal work.  Students then attempted to

include details in their journal pictures in order to help tell the story of their weekend. 

Students are in various stages of adding print to their work.  Some are labeling and adding a

few letters while others are attempting to write a complete sentence.  Here is the steps our class

decided on what makes a more detailed picture.

In Math, we continued to work on printing and representing the numbers, but we were most

excited to explore sorting and measuring with our fall leaves.  We sorted our leaves by colour,

size, shape, and texture. 

We have continued to observe the changes in trees during the fall season.  We got outside to

complete a See, Think, Wonder page in our visual journals.  Recorded things we saw, what it

makes us think about and what I now wonder.

 

We read the story "Leaf Man" by Lois Ehlert and were inspired to create our own leaf creatures. 

They look so amazing.  We will be writing about them next week.

Orange Shirt Day was an important part of our week.  We read a couple of stories and watched a

video about the event.  We used this as a way to help students build empathy for others and to

recognize the importance of valuing the differences of First Nations' culture.  Thank you for having

your child participate.

Most of the students have a list of words glued into their show and share book.  This is so that they can practice reading them at a snap of the fingers.  Once they master their word list they can share it with me at school and get the next list.
