Wednesday, September 3, 2008

We came and conquered our first day of Centers today. The students were able to catch on very quickly and did a great job. They were reminded that if they do not get a Center finished in the 20 minutes alotted, it is their responsiblity to complete that Center for homework.
* Vocabulary for A Morning to Polish and Keep is due tomorrow for Groups 1-4.
* Please remember to look for a newspaper article about Esterhazy.

In math, we introduced our first problem solving strategy. The students were put into groups and asked to solve a problem by Acting Out or Using Objects. We will discuss the problem tomorrow.

We also started to look at how to write a good paragraph in Language Arts. We discussed topic sentences and what a paragraph should entail.

In Social, we completed the advantages and disadvantages chart pertaining to living in Canada. The students ended the class by creating paper globes.

**Remember tomorrow is picture day! Don't forget your smile ;)
