November 5, 2013

What a gloomy day it was today!  The students had to go outside at recess and lunch today, despite the rain showers.  Many realized that they should bring appropriate rain gear to school on days like this as it was a bit damp and chilly.  Students are welcome to bring umbrellas too.

We started today with Bible, and are now at Amos with our Books of the Bible.  Then we looked up 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 and discussed it.  Feel free to discuss it further at home tonight!

Then we had RW, and the students used a Venn diagram to compare the main character of their Guided Reading story with themselves.  Some of the groups have finished the novel they are reading and I'll be doing some reorganizing of the groups before they go onto their next Guided Reading novel.

We finished the first part of our morning with WW, and continued on the personal narratives.  We also ran through 'In Flanders Fields' prior to recess.  The biggest challenge for these students is speaking up so that everyone in the sanctuary can hear them. 

After recess the students had Music with Mr. Banman and then Math.  The Grade 3's started work today on sorting coins and counting coins (following what we've already worked on with counting by 5's, 10's, 25's, etc.)  The 4's worked on some corrections and then further on adding 4 digit plus 4 digit numbers.

Following Lunch we had our S.S. quiz, which many of the students were quite nervous about.  The class average was a B though, and I was overall very pleased with how they did. Those who studied did well!

The students finished their day with Library and P.E.
