This week in room 5:
Language Arts
Creature comics!
Last week we created some creatures that we will be using for comics this week.
Today we focused on the introductory slide in which the main character is introduced.
For the remainder of the week we will focus on:
-Problem
-Events
-Solution
-End Celebration (resolution)
We are covering the parts of the stories in chunks so that we do not rush our pictures, writing and colouring.
Reading to self, Read to someone or listening to reading will also happen each day.
We are also working our way through the BFG! My goal is to be able to watch it in the second last or last week of school.
Math
-This week we are revisiting graphing!
-Today the students made up a survey question for their peers such as, "What is your favourite video game?" They came up with choices for their classmates to choose from then walked around the room taking tallies (IIII) of their choices.
-We will be graphing the students choices this week, then answering questions about the data.
-We will also be doing a basic facts quiz, and mathletics!
Social
-Looking at the past!
-Today the students sorted different pictures of Saskatoon from over 100 years ago to just 4 years ago. We discussed how they knew the pictures were old based off the transportation, buildings, clothes, street lamps, trains, roads, and black/white or coloured pictures.
-We have looked at the past relating to parts of Iqaluit and Meteghan. We are jumping back to the old times of the prairies and doing some comparisons of the life then vs now!
Science
-Floating vs Sinking
-This week is all about testing what objects will float and sink in our new unit: Boats and Buoyancy.
-Once we have covered what will sink and float we will move into looking at boats.
Health
-Talking about respect
-Mindfulness in class (Coloring and calming exercises)
-Sit spots out in nature sketching what we see, hear, smell and feel.
