Welcome back from the weekend everyone! I had quite a few sleepy students in my room today. Early to bed so you are fresh and ready for tomorrow :)
This week in room 5:
Language Arts
-Word work: Learning about word families: _ack
-Reading to self, someone and listening to reading
-Story writing: Problems and solutions.
-Generating a problem from everyday situations that students have experienced and coming up with a solution to them.
-Ex. Every day situation: Mr Lancee is cleaning his room Problem: suddenly he gets scared by a spider. Solution: solves the problem by catching it in a glass and putting it outside.
Math
-Continuing work with measurement
-Practicing measurement using estimation and then checking by counting using one object
-Learning how to use a ruler! Measuring in cm.
-Comparing weights
-Mathletics
Social
-Learning about the Acadians of Meteghan
-What does it mean to be Acadian?
-Looking at the Acadian flag and Nova Scotia flag
Science
-Testing the absorbency of different materials (paper, paper towel, wax paper, tin foil, sponge) We did this today! Students loved transfering water from a cup to a bucket using the different materials. Ask your child which material was the most absorbent!
-Testing which material would make the best rain coat (water proof materials!) Yes, there is a chance I may spray the students with a squirt bottle to test their hypothesis' (Not a huge amount! Just enough to test their theories!)
-Observing how evaporation happens in a closed vs open jar.
Art
- Mothers/Loved Ones day art
Health
-Talking about mental health. What does it mean to us? How can we improve our mental health?
