Students have a good start on their Novel Study final projects. Students were to chose between designing a new cereal box related to their novel or to create a picture book for students in Grade 1 or 2. These projects are due Friday, February 13.
Students were given their math quizzes back today. Please sign and return tomorrow. I have listed the mark (from 1-5) for each section on the test. We also worked together in small groups to complete a problem using the strategy of Working Backwards.
Creative Writing gave us a chance to begin a descriptive story of a picture. Each student was given a picture that they are required to write a story about using their 5 senses. We are again focusing on detail and making our writing more interesting.
We ended the day with Social Studies by reviewing the questions students completed using the Internet. We also watched part I of a video covering the Vikings and their journeys to North America.
