Welcome to Thursday! I didn't post yesterday - my apologies. I hope that today's photos will make up for it:)
Notice: Tomorrow is hot lunch (chow mein) and Valentines Day. Students can dress up if they wish, or simply wear something red or pink. In our class, we have been making our own Valentines to give out, and will celebrate without candy. Devina is baking cupcakes and we will have some popcorn and a "love story" themed movie in the afternoon.
We continued practicing onomatopoeia this morning, identifying words and creating some short stories using onomatopoeia. Students were given time to work on their snow globe for this literary device. Several students are at the cutting out stage and two students have now glued all of theirs together!
During math, we finished colour-coding the 9X (yesterday), 10X, 11X, and 12X in our multiplication booklets. After drills, students attempted to play "I have... Who has...?" to practice elapsed time. Many students are still struggling with this. I showed them a short video to help them some more with telling time (see link below). I strongly recommend that students continue to watch Time videos for kids and to keep practicing on IXL. Please them at home by "testing" them often.

They are enjoying My Side of the Mountain, which I read while they are still eating their lunch.
P.E. this afternoon was all about Jump Rope for Heart. I took lots of photos of the kids skipping, hoola hooping, and Chinese Jump Roping. (Are those real verbs?)
Remember, you can click on any of the pictures to enlarge them!
We also made pouches for our Valentines tomorrow, and worked on colouring the Valentines they made.
