It's been a while since I was with the class -- 2 weeks! Far too long!! It was great being back with them. They are such an easy group to come back to :) Here's what happened today in grade 3/4.
1. Opening Exercise: We did a crossword about penguins.
2. Bible: We did our second day in our prayer journals. The students wrote about people they wanted to pray for, what they needed prayer for, and what they were grateful for.
3. Writing Workshop: Since it was 2 weeks ago that we talked about alliteration, we did some review of alliteration. The students wrote their own alliteration poems, using any letter they wanted. Some were ambitious in their letter choice!
4. Math: We spent a bit longer on math today since it was 2 weeks since we had talked about geometry. We did a math review game called SCOOT! We rotated around the classroom answering different geometry questions at each desk. After about 3 minutes at one desk, I would say "SCOOT!" and the students would rotate.
5. Library: With Mrs. McNutt.
6. P.E.: We did some warm-up with skipping ropes and hula-hoops. Then we played a few rounds of Dungeon Ball.
7. Science: We took our knowledge about shapes from geometry and applied it to Science. We wanted to know what shapes make the strongest structures: squares, arches, or triangles. Turns out that triangles are the strongest. We learned this through a hands-on experiment.
