 Hello everyone.  My apologies for the late entry - I had technical difficulties and wasn't able to post.  All is good now and we are back on track.  Here is a brief look at our Monday. 

Students were introduced to hyperboles today - another form of Literary Devices used to make ones writing more interesting.  Hyperboles are extreme exaggerations that couldn't possibly be true.  These can be a lot of fun.  Students wrote the definitions on their snow globes and began to think of a winter-themed one.  We also did some worksheets together for practice. 

In math, we continued with telling time and started some elapsed time.  We also completed a mini Hooray for Arrays! sampler for our Interactive Notebooks. 

We did a fair bit of art in the afternoon.  Students were busy mixing colours for their colour wheel umbrella (with two extra sections).  I will post the photos of our work in progress tomorrow.  

[See Tuesday's entry.]

Lastly, we started some Zentangle designs on sampler squares to refer to later during art projects.  Two of a student's samples are here: "Cheesecloth" and "Florz".
