October 2, 2015

Note: Mrs. MacInnis was our guest teacher on Friday. If you sent a notice in the agenda, I'll see it on Monday.


Literacy:

This week in Literacy we've been writing an alphabet book inspired by our read aloud "Z is for Moose". We've also been making math connections to texts, looking at how Eric Carles' "Rooster's Off to See the World" is a story with increasing and decreasing patterns. We also looked at retelling   Eric Carles' story "The Very Lonely Firefly"


V is for Vampire Bat. Bats are nocturnal.


Math:

We've wrapped up our unit on patterns this week, where students completed performance assessments on translating increasing and repeating patterns.

We have completed looking the Autumn part of our Seasonal Changes unit. We wrapped it up with a walk to Confederation Park where students completed observations of Autumn, walked around the park and had a chance to have a leaf flight! Students creating a collage of their autumn artifacts with Mrs. MacInnis. Our next unit will be on Creating Colours.
