Welcome to the last week of November! It struck me today that one month from today is Christmas Eve. The season is upon us and has creeped its way into our classroom/school. As expected, the themes from now until the December break will be primarily based on Winter/Christmas/Holidays.
This week is pretty quiet with Popcorn Wednesday, hot lunch on Friday, and Spelling Test on Friday. There will be no assembly this week as the gym is set up for 'Mission Impossible'. 'Mission Impossible' is a series of obstacles set up in the gym for students to attempt during physical education class. It will be set up for 2 weeks and be taken down on December 4.
Last week, the class was introduced to two new technology opportunities in our classroom: KidBlog and Google Classroom.
1. KidBlog is a blog for our students and only our class can access it. I will be sending home information for parents to access this blog, but until students gain comfort with it, I will hold off.
2. Google Classroom is a way for students to gather, complete, and hand in assignments online. This will help reduce paper consumption in our classroom, provide students with an alternative way to demonstrate learning, and allow me to access their assignment at any time to provide feedback and guidance.
Language Arts
Writing-We will be using detail and questions to describe a story critical character. Students are reminded to use proper punctuation and spelling during their writing, whether it is story prompts, journals, reading comprehension, or general story writing. This is something you can work on at home too.
Math
Patterns-Solving problems using increasing patterns and predicting positions in the increasing pattern. We will be figuring out what the increasing pattern will look like in a specific part of the pattern.
Numbers to 100-This week, we will learn about place value as well as representing and describing numbers.
Science
Our unit "Hot and Cold" was introduced last week. We discussed things that are hot and cold, and the students got to use Google Classroom to help research some pictures that are hot or cold. This week we will be looking into what each season looks like and discuss them using 'hot and cold' terms.
Social
During our social classes, we will talk about the "Early Days of Meteghan" as well as "Urban and Rural Communities".
