Reading...Give it a Shot
BHS has enrolled in the Calgary Flames reading program. Students will be bringing home tracking sheets to monitor how much they read each day. Can you please sign the spot needed if they are reading at home?
When your child reads 30 minutes they will earn one reading card. I have sent home a green folder with the sheet to track your minutes! Once they collect all 24, they can move onto the bonus card collection of Harvey the Hound doing funny things! To earn these new cards students must read for 60 minutes. The reading competition started Monday, January 18th and ends March 26th. Teachers will be tracking totals in order to hopefully win a virtual visit from the Calgary Flames. The more they read… the more chance we have of the Calgary Flames visiting our school virtually!
Thank you for your support and work with encouraging your child to read!
Go Flames Go!
Today in room 5:
We began our morning with some silent reading time. We broke a record today and read for 23 minutes!
After reading we had a morning meeting and learned a little about St. Patricks Day.
After reviewing the blends (bl, gl, and sl) Mr Wiens joined us for music.
Room 5 enjoyed some time on the playground before heading inside for math.
Today the students continued their work with double digit subtraction with regrouping. This is a tricky unit that takes practice and trying different strategies. The strategies we focus on are:
-Hundreds charts
-Number lines
-Subtracting in columns
-Breaking numbers into tens and ones
-Regrouping using blocks
-Regrouping in traditional form
After lunch we read to a partner before heading to gym to play handball!
When we returned from gym we had ten minutes of recharge time before finishing our Frosty Fridges and Karen Insulators! Students began working on these yesterday and were able to put the finishing touches on this afternoon. Tomorrow we will be testing using hot water and ice cubes! It will be an all afternoon test to help save Karen and Frosty!
After cleaning up, we read another chapter from the BFG. Both the students and I have been really enjoying quietly listening to a story at the end of the day :)
Have a great evening everyone!
Mr Lancee
