Students worked on word processing of their Lesson 6 spelling words this morning.

After recess, students worked on a writing activity we have been working on during Centers. Students picked a picture from the newspaper and used that picture to inspire a narrative story. We are focusing on having a beginning, middle, and end to our stories and this activity stresses this concept.

After lunch, students worked on reviewing addition, as well a reflect question referring to Estimation. We also discussed yesterday's assignment and began to talk about using benchmarks in estimation. The computer station had students playing Estimator Four with a partner.

We worked at stations during Social Studies as well. Students worked with Mrs. Lippai to discuss a variety of landforms that can be found in Canada. We will continue with this discussion next class. Students working with me, began a landform search using a map of Canada. The computer station had students exploring Landforms.

If you were absent today please take some time to have a look at these websites as they provide a greater understanding of the topics we are covering.
