Dear parents,
Today we went over our Poem of the Week and looked at the "ight" ending. How many words can you make with that ending? We then did Read to Self while I conferenced with groups for Guided Reading. After recess, we finished Douglas Coupland's book, "Terry." Children will now be looking through the book to add more detail to our Terry Fox timeline. We then went to French.
After lunch we had a lesson on adding with regrouping (3 and 4 digit numbers for Grade 4, 2 and 3 digit numbers for Grade 3). We then went to a wonderful Parang workshop.
"Students will learn about the parang music tradition from Trinidad. Parang is a term, which identifies a custom belonging to Trinidad’s Hispanic heritage. The word itself is neither Spanish nor English. It is the colloquial term for parran, the abbreviation of parranda, the Spanish word, which means a spree, or carousel, or a group of more than four people who go out at night singing with the accompaniment of musical instruments."
After recess we did a Pumpkin art in style of Romero Britto. Please see the following video for an example. We will continue this this week.
