EHS Grade 3/4 Kindness Pod: Thursday, December 5, 2019

Learning Intentions for our Day...

Today we introduced another part of our word work program in small groups during our Daily 5 literacy time. This program focuses on recognizing word patterns and sounds in words.
In Health, we answered a number of questions about friendships and described what makes a healthy and unhealthy friendship in our own words.
Green Fools Residency taught us new skills using a variety of objects and how to juggle with more than one ball. We are enjoying it so far!
Today was the last day for our student teachers that have been working with us in our Pod for the past five weeks. They have been so helpful and taught us Math and Inquiry. We will miss them and wish them the very best in their journey!

the word work program introduced during our Daily 5 literacy time and the word patterns we found in our small groups.

An email has been sent out from the Kindness Pod teachers regarding word work that will be practiced at home. The word lists were sent home today. Please read the email for more information.
