Happy Friday October 23, 2020?
Reminders:
Friday October 30th No school (PD day)
Thursday October 29th dress up in costumes day. (This is optional for all students) Students can also just wear black and orange if they do not have a costume.
With the changing weather and for safety reasons we are no longer up on the field. We are now right next to Mr Beecheys class just outside the grade 2 doors. Send your child to the new spot from the fence and I will send them back to you from the same new spot! I will be outside helping parents find their children each day :)
Today in room 5:
We began our day with some catch up time to give students time to finish their Walking for Wenjack labels, writing, and art. As students finished they were able to read their book boxes.
A quick note about reading... it is essential that you are reading with your children every night. Modeling good reading, practicing sounding out words and getting students engaged in books through fun stories is the building blocks of making students life long readers. If you do not have books at home please use raz kids or email me and I can help you find some other options for reading. We are tracking our reading at home each day and our goal for next week is to get over 1000 minutes read at home! We can do it together :)
After our morning calendar we had a combination of math and printing. We began by practicing writing the letter 6/six. This was only the first part though... Next, everyone chose a number with a six in it such as 66/sixty-six. I had each of the students choose a number and they had to print the number/words then represent their number in four ways. The ability to represent a number in multiple ways is an excellent for way students to show their understanding of numbers.
Unsure of how to represent numbers?
At home, get a large piece of paper and represent 1 or 2 these numbers in at least four different ways! Bring the paper in Monday to show the class!

After math we had snack before going on our walk for Wenjack. As a class we walked 106 km's!
After gym we had buddies with our grade 5/6 buddies in Mr Mueller's class. We tried something new today! With our covid restrictions we cannot mix cohorts. So we had students connect with the grade 5 students through the ipads using google meet. The grade 5/6's read through the ipads to the grade 2's! We will try this again soon and have the grade 2's share their books as well!
We finished off our morning with Mathletics on ipads completing assignments on counting to 100, skip counting, and patterns! Please complete some math assignments over the weekend to practice!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Mr Lancee
