Tuesday Dec. 10

Mrs. Zwack sends her apologies for creating, but not publishing the blog yesterday.

Learning Intentions for our Day ... 
  • Today we worked on Daily 5 and learned two more activities that can help us practice our Word Work words at home.  Have your child show you "Find Other Words" and "Use the word in an Interesting Sentence"
  • In math the teachers wanted to see what students could do INDEPENDENTLY when making a graph.  We have worked on using tally marks, finding totals, setting up and labeling a bar graph, and accurately representing the data.  
  • In Inquiry today we celebrated the creative thinking of our students who designed their up cycling projects.  We set up our two spaces and took turns touring projects and asking questions to extend our learning.  We wrapped up with a short reflection in our visual journals.
Ask me about ...
What was the up-cycling project that inspired you  the most and why?  What might you have changed about your project?

Reminders: 
  • Please continue to practice word work at home. Our first word work 'check-in' will be on December 18th. Each of the strategies will be introduced in class this week. 
  • Eric Harvie School Spirit Week: December 16-19
