It was a great start for using the daily reading chart at school. I was really impressed at the amount of time students were reading at home especially after I recorded the results of the first day on the chart. Most were reading 20 minutes the first day; on the second many were reading 50, 60 minutes, and one student read for 3 hours! Congrats, everybody.
Subjects
Math: Multiplication continues with 3 digit multiplication. I've taught students 3 strategies for doing multiplication including what's called the Lattice method. Ask them to show you how to do it!
Reading: We're doing Reading A to Z for a few weeks as well as focusing on reading aloud and fluency. I will be recording students reading stories and letting them listen to their voices and self-assessing how they read.
Writing: We continue focusing on sentence writing and developing strong sentences in order to write strong paragraphs. We have been looking at nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
Keyboarding: Keyboarding practice continues daily. I encourage students to practice keyboarding at home at the online site we use at school. www.freetypinggame.net
Science:We continue to study nutrition and healthy eating.
Art: In Art we'll be investigating the colour wheel and learning about colour mixing.
PE: In gymnastics students have been learning tumbling routines and doing simple stunts. Students practice dance once a week.Art: In Art we'll be investigating the colour wheel and learning about colour mixing.
French: We have looked at les couleurs.
