October 28, 2014

Here's what happened in Grade 3/4 today:

1. Opening Exercise: We finished up our Daily Gram for last week. This activity focused on capitalization, punctuation, adjectives, and correct usage of words.
2. Bible: We started off with our weekly prayer and praise items and the class prayed for one another. Afterwards, we finished off where we last left off in our What's In The Bible series. We learned about salvation, faith, and redemption.
3. Writing Workshop: Today in poetry, we had a little quiz (it was just for me to see where the students were at). This way, I can see what we still need to work on before we get further into writing poetry. We ended our W.W. off by doing a sword drill in dictionaries. This will be important for the students so that when they're struggling with a word or a meaning, they can quickly look it up in the dictionary.
4. Math: We did pumpkin math today. I brought in 3 pumpkins and the students used these pumpkins to complete a pumpkin learning activity. It was all about estimating and then measuring. At the end of the day, we cut open our pumpkins and counted the seeds by either 2's, 5's, or 10's.
5. P.E.: Today I taught the students a new fun game called Dungeon Ball. It's a game very similar to Dodgeball.
