Tuesday February 4, 2020

Learning intentions...

  • Two classes within our pod attended the first session of the  "Who Do You Tell?" program today.
  • In Writer's Workshop we are focussing on developing strong story beginnings.  We have learned of 4 effective beginnings to 'hook' our readers including starting with dialogue, a question, an action or sound effect and have looked for these beginnings in the books we are reading during Daily 5.
  • In Math today, we compared, synthesized and interpreted data from the line plots we created yesterday as we answered a variety of questions.  

Ask me about...

What has been your favourite part of Ticket to Curlew so far?  Can you provide a summary of this part of the book?

Reminders...

  • Grade 4s were given 2 notices today!  
    • Young Writers' Conference - for those grade 4 students interested in being considered to attend this event, please return with student's reasoning for why they would like to attend by Thursday.
    • Notice about Friday's visit to Tuscany School's Winter Carnival.
  • Music notices regarding recorders were given out today.
  • Please return all "Who Do You Tell?" forms as quickly as possible as the program started today for some classes. 
  • Please return swimming forms as soon as possible so Mr. Der can begin to coordinate with the pool.
  • Words Their Way lists were handed out on Thursday of last week.  Please be reviewing these at home.  Check ins will take place on Tuesday February 11.
