Welcome back this week to a soggy Monday!
This morning we continued building our reading stamina during our Daily 5 work.
Then we reviewed some basic writing skills which included a proper title, using an indent properly, and how to use a margin.
Then Mr.McDougall taught us some basic skills in creating a narrative story. We first picked some cards with story starter ideas and then we brainstormed ideas on our own. After awhile we were allowed to "Think, Pair, Share" with a table partner which allowed us to get some help in generating more ideas for our story. Then, and only then, could we begin creating our stories.
Both grade 3s and 4s began their work on Patterns. The grade 4s worked with Mrs. Quilley while the grade 3s worked with Mr. McDougall.
We had gym today where we experimented with the hula hoops a bit more.
Meet the Teacher Evening will be open to parents to book session on Wednesday, September 16th at 7pm. This evening is for teachers to introduce themselves and provide an overview of the school year. The first 15 minutes parents are to meet in the gym then followed by meet the teacher and explore our school for 40 minutes.
For our blog comments try to find a pattern in your home and share it with the rest of the class by describing it.
