Dear parents,
Today we focused on our Poem of the Week. We looked at the metaphors within the poem, for instance, the icicles are compared to fingers and so on. We then went on to Read to Self while I conferenced with students about their personal reading and their reading habits. There has been tremendous development in the reading habits of the students over the past four months and many of them truly enjoy reading for pleasure! We continued with Charlotte's Web today and ended up finishing the book. Sadly, Charlotte dies, but her legacy of friendship and kindness live on through her children and the generations that come after her. Please talk to your child about this book and the ending. We then went to French.
After lunch, I showed several math videos as a different way to teach math. They are as follows:
Measurement song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djTNUp4XIRo
Measurement video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrA4D-8vHhk
Measurement problem solving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei5mgFtUGns
We then set to work around each of the last two videos, trying to solve the problems and then seeing the solutions. We then worked on the Success Criteria of our Problem Solving. On Friday there will be a test on Measurement. After recess, we went to Library with Jean where we are continuing to construct our Ecosystem dioramas.
