Today is our simple day - not a lot of different subjects combined with early dismissal. We started with Writing Workshop, and continued working on writing strong sentences using adjectives, verbs and nouns, as well as prepositions. The students also tried writing sentences with an -ing verb to start (Soaring through the sky, the eagle spotted a mouse.). Then we also discussed sensory sentences, which are sentences that we, as the reader, feel like we can hear, smell, taste, touch or see what's being described.
During Reading Workshop we continued with Matilda and then went on to Ch. 3 of Henry and the Clubhouse with some children completing Ch. 2 corrections.
After Recess we had Math, and we continued pushing through the Patterns unit. This is a struggle for many of the students, but we'll keep practicing and hopefully everyone will feel confident with it soon.
Then the students had P.E. and P.O.W. with Mr. Banmann.
After lunch we had S.S. and continued with the topic 'Getting Along'. We started work on 'All About Me' posters, where the students are going to describe their culture and traditions for the rest of the class. You can help at home by talking about some of your family's culture and traditions that they could include on their poster.
