Hello, all. I am combining yesterday and today mainly because I forgot to do the blog yesterday. So here goes:
*I read while the kids are still eating; this gives the slower eaters more time to relax.
In Language Arts, students did a practice MAZE on Tuesday and then "the real McCoy" today. They are really getting good at these 3-minute timed reading fluency activities where, within sentences, they have to choose the correct word (from a list of three) to correctly use in the sentence. I hope that makes sense to you.
We also read and worked through another spelling booklet: "Amazing H" about adding h to certain consonants to change their sound.
Yesterday, the kids wrote about what they had done over the weekend. I wanted to see how their writing has developed completely unassisted.
Today, students had a chance to do some of their Readwell or Reading Mastery program.
Prior to that, we added some notes about Possessive Nouns to their Interactive Notebooks. The photos will give you an idea of what that is all about.
During Math this week, students did drills for the 6X facts. Everyone improved today's score from yesterday's!! Next, we continued working on calculating the perimeter and area of rectangles. Today, the students worked on some "task cards" scattered about the room. The picture below is an example of the first four cards.
We are finishing up our Landforms books using Book Creator this week. Students are using First Voices to add Kwakwala words to name most of the landforms. We hope to present these books next week to parents et al via Zoom. We will give notice!
Today, the kids had Kwakwal culture class with Isaiah in the afternoon. I'm not sure what they did but they had fun!
Enjoy your evening. Stay warm:)
