On Friday afternoon, we bundled up and head out on the route for the Terry Fox walk.
We finished our WeSearch Wednesday paragraph on Terry Fox. The students compiled their jot notes into a detailed paragraph about Terry Fox. They used a split screen on their chromebooks to take information from their google doc and transfer it to their Kidblog paragraph.
Our grammar focus this week was on Common and Proper nouns. We worked through various activities each day, over the course of the week, relating to nouns and especially focusing on capitalizing proper nouns. For example: A common noun would be "restaurant" and a proper noun would be "Florida Pizza".
We also completed a Making Words activity. The students were given the letters REEMCDOOPS and they were to build as many 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 letter words as they could. They were also encouraged to figure out the "mystery word". This is the word that they can spell using all of the letters. The mystery word this time was DECOMPOSER.
Then they got in groups to compare lists.
In Math, we worked on T-Tables, as a continuation of our Patterning unit. The students are becoming quite confident in figuring out patterns, the gap between numbers, extending and creating pattern rules.
The students also played some math games - Soldier Salute and Addition War.
Congratulations to our XtraMath superstars! They completed the addition level and have now moved on to subtraction.
In P.E. we played Dragon's Jewel and this has now become a 4B favourite! We also had a little free time fun with a few different equipment items on Friday.
We started our first Science unit this week - Waste and Our World. We began the unit by creating a list of all the items our class thinks is WASTE.
Then we played a KAHOOT game, to see what we know about waste in our world.
The students worked through a digital version of a KWL chart. They completed the section - What I KNOW About Waste. We will work through - What I WANT to Know next week.
We used the QR code reader on our chromebooks to access a site to learn more about Recycling in Nature. Then we completed a food chain which highlighted the decomposers role in recycling.
We also watched a couple great videos - Food Chains and The Dirt on Decomposers
One of our classmates has moved and we wish her all the best at her new school!
