Updates...
We have the opportunity to participate in a Place Based
Learning research project. Information went home with students yesterday. Please return the forms (if you wish for your
child to participate in the study) by Monday, December 2nd.
Happenings today...
We continued today with our Farm theme during ignite, and
also worked towards finishing our grasslands mural. We have finally finished
counting 2/3 of our estimation station;
The Field Peas came to 177, the closest guess was Lyric at
188
The Barely came to 1345, the closest guess was Eric at 1000
The third sample is still being counted.
After ignite we moved into math, continuing our work with shape and space. Students worked on using a loose part shape to turn 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees, 360 degrees, sliding quadrant to quadrant and flipping up, down, left and right.
In the afternoon, we read chapter six of our novel Ticket to
Curlew and worked on retelling in their own words.
We also continued our work in poetry using our replica skull
words (how we felt/ our initial reaction/ descriptive words), to work towards
creating a class poem. We read a story and wrote a journal reflection
expressing what it feels like and looks like to be different.
