We kicked off our Wednesday with our February assembly. After assembly we worked through three stations.
1) Computers (Students worked to finish typing out their Allen Sapp paragraphs)
2) Independent Reading
3) Perimeter Practice
After recess, we continued to work on Perimeter in Math with 3 stations:
1) Computers
2) Partner game
3) Perimeter practice
We also played a game...boys vs girls...which helped us to practice perimeter. The boys earned the bragging rights along with some snazzy new pencils ;)
After lunch, we talked about the reasons why the British Crown and the First Nations peoples wanted to develop Treaties. We will continue with this next class.
Phys Ed closed out the day.
Reminder...please bring a bagged lunch for tomorrow's field trip. We will be eating on the bus.

Welcome back everyone! I trust that everyone enjoyed some family time!
We completed Day 2 of Centers today. We are wrapping up our Inferring strategy at Guided Reading this week. The students did a wonderful job today discussing and inferring!
After recess, the students were given their Science unit review. Our unit test will be on Friday, March 8. The review is due for Wednesday, March 6.
Art rounded off our morning.
After lunch, we worked through 3 pod stations during Math.
1) Computers
2) The students worked with Mrs. Gale to play a game where they had to try to fill up their playing board by drawing various rectangles with different perimeters.
3) The students worked with me to construct various rectangles with different perimeters using the geoboards.
Phys Ed wrapped up the day.

After recess, the students completed a short assessment piece on converting measurements. We also discussed our latest problem solver and its' possible solutions. Great job boys and girls!! Lastly, we started to discuss perimeter and used the geoboards to try to construct various quadrilaterals with a given perimeter. We will tackle this concept after break.
I am not here tomorrow so there won't be a blog post. I hope everyone enjoys the February break and gets to spend some quality time with your family. Travel safe for those of you who are venturing to a sunny destination, snowy mountains, or any other adventure.

Students completed Day 2 of Centers this morning.
After recess, we discussed Raw Material verses Manufactured Material in Science. The students worked with a partner to try to identify a variety of materials, as well as discuss some of the every day objects that we wear or use.
The students who didn't get a chance to present their powerpoint's got a chance today. We then watched a short video on Treaties from the Office of the Treaty Commissioner titled Treaties and the Law.
After lunch, we worked through 3 stations in Math.
Station 1: Computers
Station 2: Estimation and Measurement
Station 3: Measurement Conversion

The students were introduced to a new set of Centers this morning. We are continuing to inferr during Guided Reading.
After recess, we worked through three stations in Math.
Station 1: Corrections from yesterday (conversions and measurement)
Station 2: Measuring length and "SNAP"
Station 3: Computers
We continued to work on our recent problem solver while some students also worked to type our their Allen Sapp paragraphs.
After lunch, we discussed the Treaty activity we did last Social class. We also watched a short video, We Are All Treaty People, helping to explain what a Treaty is.

As we begin this last week before our Winter Break, the students were given their Lesson 19 spelling words. Many students are forgetting to get their TWAS signed or to simply bring them back to school. Please remind your son or daughter that these are very important to share with you and to return them to school.
After recess, we began typing out our Allen Sapp paragraphs. We will continue tomorrow.
The students had Art with Mrs. Schentag to wrap up the morning.
After lunch, we worked through Math pods.
Station 1: We continued to work with converting different units of measurement.
For example, 20 cm = 200 mm.
Station 2: Students had to measure 10 items in the classroom using centimeters and millimeters.
Station 3: Computers
Phys Ed finished off the day.
Reminder...please return your permission forms ASAP, along with the $10.

The students wrote their Spelling test and TWAS this morning during Centers.
After recess, the students had Art with Mrs. Schentag.
We kicked off the afternoon with a problem solver. The students are working with a partner to try to solve this problem. We are focusing on solving the problem and checking our work.
French and Phy Ed rounded off our day...and week!!
* Students have received an information letter explaining our class trip in late February. Please return these with the $10 as soon as possible.

We started a fresh set of Centers this morning. We are continuing to work on inferring at Guided Reading. Some groups are working on using the title of the story to make inferences, while others are making inferences when they come across unknown words.
After recess, we finished our Bulletin Board problem solver and checked it together. Remember boys and girls, pay attention to the details within the problem.
We also started our Measurement unit today with the students measuring the length of different body parts in cm.
The students had library before lunch.
After lunch, we began the Conventions trait of 6+1 Wrting. With this trait, we will be focusing on spelling, grammar, and punctuation. We worked together as a class to identify various conventions on a given paragraph. We will use these skills tomorrow when we choose an individual paragraph to work on.
The day wrapped up with French and Phys Ed.
Reminder...math test tomorrow!!

Welcome to February!! February always seems to fly by so quickly!! We completed our latest group of Centers this morning. We are continuing to work on inferences, as we began to use the title of a story today to help us make an inference.
After recess, we discussed reversible and non-reversible changes in Science. We worked through 4 stations in Science and made predictions.
We then continued to present our Prime Minister powerpoints. The students did such a wonderful job and worked extremely hard to put these together.
After lunch, we worked through Math pods. At station 1, students worked with me to correct their Division test reviews. Please remember the test is on Thursday, February 7. Binders were sent home with students today. At station 2, students worked with Mrs. Clarke to sharpen their division fact skills. Station 3 was on the computer.
