Learning intentions for our day:
- Many reading groups met today during Daily 5. Some groups developed word decoding strategies, others discussed connecting to text while still others continued to consider how evidence can be used to support inferences and predictions. Daily 5 time was also used to complete the many writing assignments students need to complete.
- In Math, we worked on a pre-assessment of addition and subtraction. The information gathered from this will be used to determine specific student learning needs in the new year.
- Today was all about recycling in Inquiry! We analyzed our recycling bin at school and gained an awareness of the importance of putting the right materials in the correct bin. We were also introduced to the 5 R's: Reuse, reduce, recycle, refuse and rethink.
Ask me about:
what I am most proud of during our Green Fool's Residency. Be thinking about the skill you want to share with everyone tomorrow at the Celebration.
