New Year

Happy New Year!

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday season! 

Language

Students have been working on writing about their holidays or choosing goals for themselves. They are using KidBlog to post their writing for their classmates to read and comment on. In the near future, we will be opening up our writing to family and other classroom connections so that we can expand our community.

Students are currently in the process of writing a narrative and they are going through the entire writing process; they are brainstorming ideas, making a plan, writing, editing, and self-assessing their stories. Once they are complete and ready for publishing, I will be sharing the stories with you. Stay tuned!

We are also focusing on reading. Students are working on finding books that they can be successful reading independently and working on sustained silent reading. So far I am very impressed.

Math

Students are learning about elapsed time and our learning goal is, "I can estimate and measure how long an event takes."

This will be a fairly short unit and with our learning about time, students have also been working in centres with micro:bit software, binary coding, and small guided math groups. 


I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week!
