If your child is away this week and you're looking to keep them on track, here are a few things they can work on at home. No printer? No problem! Please have students view the various pages and write their responses on a separate piece of paper.
- students wrote their Geometry test on Wednesday. Those students who were absent should be prepared to write it upon their return. There are two videos to watch here that will help students prepare for the test.
- we're working on our Mrs. Claus paragraphs. Students are to write a paragraph about what she does on Christmas Eve while Santa delivers the gifts. Students must include "sparkly" and memorable details while focusing on using transitional words and effective punctuation. Print the writing page and checklist here.
- absent students can print their missed Practice Pages here: Practice Pages 16/17
- Students can also work on this page from their Christmas booklet.
- Our text of the week is pictured below, please have your child read it aloud with lots of expression. We will have our test on Friday and absent students should be prepared to write.
Last week, when learning about adding sparkly details to our work, we watched this commercial. Students were encouraged to choose their favourite funny detail.
Since then, we've had all kinds of camel impressions! I like this one a lot!
We saw the movie Wonder last week and it was such a special way to cap off our 14th week together. When we returned, students broke off into various groups and were given discussion questions about the movie. I enjoyed hearing all of their opinions and ideas. They communicate so respectfully, especially when disagreeing with one another.
We've started our Christmas craft and those students who are absent can look forward to joining the fun when they return to school.
And as you can see, our little tree is filling up with all kinds of goodies for nice girls and boys!
Now that we've written our Math test for Unit 3, we'll spend the rest of our time together focused on learning about multiplication and division. We're pretty good with both concepts, but the extra practice will serve us well. Students are encouraged to memorize their math songs found at the top of the blog page.
When we return in the new year, we'll jump right into data management.
