Tuesday, April 26, 2016

Good day, everyone. I hope you enjoyed your four day weekend.

On Friday, I met with fellow Grade 4-5 teachers; we discussed the newly designed curriculum, and shared what we are doing in our classrooms, especially focusing on inquiry projects.  We also discussed assessment methods.

Yesterday, Monday, I attended a session that focused on incorporating Aboriginal content and perspectives into all aspects of our curriculum.  I felt good about what we do in my class, although one can always do more.  After that I went up to Arrow Heights School where L'école de Glacier hosted some workshops.  I made a felted bookmark at the session I attended:)

Today we started off with a Math Antics perimeter package; most students completed and submitted their package.  Otherwise, it is due tomorrow.

After recess and P.E., outside, we learned about Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases.  We made a booklet and added it to our Interactive Notebook for Language Arts.  We also listened to a song about prepositions by the Bazillions (linked below).

 After lunch, Ms. Kretchmer took the kids for music, and I prepared for tomorrow.  At the end of the day, we (finally) took a look at the alphabet en Français! (I say "finally" because it has been on the agenda for a while but we didn't get to it.)

And that's our day:)
