The day began with WW, and we focused our time on poetry today, reading a poem together about nature, with a specific metre and rhyming pattern, and then the students wrote their own poems following the same metre and rhyming pattern. I was thrilled with the efforts and creativity the children put it into this activity! Be sure to come and read some of them, as they'll be on display on 'The Wall of Fame' today.
Then we went on to RW and this consisted of finishing off the work related to Ch. 13 of Charlotte's Web. I had hoped to read aloud to the class today, but time didn't permit, due to our poetry lesson going a bit long.
After recess we had Math and today the 4's continued working with lines of symmetry while the 3's focused on sorting shapes according to different attributes (faces, vertices and edges). Then the class had P.E. with Mr. Banman and P.O.W.
After lunch we had S.S., and the class finished their rip maps (on display in the hallway), and then went on to learn more about Christopher Columbus. At dinner tonight, ask your child why Columbus was on an expedition in the first place, what he was hoping to get to, what happened with his crew during his journey and why, and what "mistake" he made. They should know the answers to these questions!
