Friday February 10th 2017

Hello,

Here is what we did on Friday.

Spelling: We completed the test and the marks have been handed back.
Daily Five: Today we continued playing the board games on sequencing, inferencing and antonyms and synonyms
Language: Today we worked on reviewing our work. We went through our work individually checking for spelling/punctuation as well as feelings, friendly opening, routines, rules with reasons and a closing. Next we did the same checklist but a partner looked through it with us. We noticed that we made a lot of mistakes that we didn't see! I hope it helps to practice checking over our work better.
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

Math: Today we talked about fractions. We reviewed what the numerator and the denominator is. We talked about the denominator being the total and the numerator is the part of the whole we are speaking about. We did some work on the board and then did some questions from the book.
UOI: We presented our information on community we were learning about.

Lunch/Recess

UOI: We completed a reflection page about our forces and motion unit.
Clean up: Next we handed out some papers and put them in our apple binders.

Have a good night

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Cursive Writing: We continued working on our cursive book. Some people are behind and will be taking it home to finish up to page 29.
Daily Five: We played some reading board games. They are practicing: antonyms vs synonyms, inferencing and sequencing. They had so much fun!

French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

Math: Today we did a fractions pre test. They sound it hard but it will help me figure out what they already know. Next we played with some fractions manipulatives.

I handed back the math grades for the motion geometry test. Before the test began I told the children that I will not be giving them a opportunity to fix minor errors after they hand it in as they are getting in bad habits of relying on it. When they go into grade 4, they have to get in the habit of checking thoroughly over their work. As a result, I put a list on the board that outlined four things they need to do before handing it in to ensure there was no minor errors. However, some people still not did follow instructions and loss marks as a result. I have given part marks for sections they did correctly. If you have any questions about this please let me know.

UOI: We finished working on our communities expert groups.
