Monday October 28th, 2019

Here is what we did today:

Music: Please see Ms. McMillian's blog for more detail.

Inquiry into Language: We worked on Lesson 8 in our workbooks. We reviewed the tip together for a better understanding of today's lesson. After that was complete, they worked on page 26 and 27 in their cursive workbook. If completed, they were able to silent read.

Library: Today we took a trip to the library and spent some time with Ms. Hayward.

Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Math: We reviewed division with remainders again today. We took up some of Friday's homework and then worked independently. Students who required more assistance worked one on one with me on the carpet.

Recess/Lunch

UOI: Today we learned about strengths and abilities! We discussed what these were and a simple way of figuring out what they were was that they could consider what their peers would say are their strengths or abilities. We did an activity that involved each student going around to each of the classmates desks and writing down on a star what they believed was their peer's strength or ability. We sat in a circle and shared them, this made everyone very happy! We individually completed our own Strength and Abilities star that will go inside our scrapbook.

We read a book on the carpet together about loving who you are for you! We really enjoyed it!

Agenda!

Spelling Lesson 8 Words:

Friday October 25th, 2019

Here is what we did today:

UOI: Today we explore self-awareness! We discussed how it is important to know our strengths, areas for improvements, likes and dislikes. We did some self-assessment questionnaires to learn more about our likes and dislikes, an all about me page and a rating scale activity.

We read a book that was brought in for us called "I am Enough." It fit beautifully with our lesson! 

Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Language: We wrote our Lesson 7 spelling test. Once it was complete, we did partner reading and played some of the division games from yesterday because we loved them so much.

Inquiry into Math: Our lesson today was focused on division with remainders! This is quite a tricky concept so we will be spending another day on this.

Here is a fantastic video of different ways of solving division with remainders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvQtf-MEWiM

We practiced on the white board a couple examples, worked with our table groups to answer a word problem and then started our worksheet. It was sent home for homework.

Here is what we did today:

Music: Please see Ms. McMillian's blog for more detail.

Inquiry into Language: We read chapter 11 and loved the funny events that happened to cousin Charley. We couldn't stop laughing about the yellow-jackets and how the event resembled the story of the boy who cried wolf. We did some partner reading as well this morning!

Recess/Lunch

UOI: We started our new unit, Who we are "A Mindful Well-Being!" We had so many wonders about mindfulness that we created a Wonder Wall Section on our UOI board. We read about what is mindfulness and watched a helpful video to gain a better understanding.
