This week we went skating, had a fun assembly and went to an Art Show put on by the grade 6 students. In writing we are still working on writing three part stories with a problem and a solution. On day (Un jour) our characters are doing something. But (Mais) a problem arises. So (Alors) the characters find a solution |
We are also learning how to listen to a story. We have been watching and listening to stories on Tumblebooks. You can access tumblebooks at home by visiting http://www.orl.bc.ca/ and then clicking on the tumblebooks icon on the right side of the page. When we listen to a book we are practicing doing three things... listening to the words, looking at the words and pictures (and trying to read along) and thinking about the story. It is lots of things to do at the same time and takes practice. We need to read and re-read the same story many times before we get good at it.
In math we started our measurement unit. We made snowman names and sorted them in order of sizes from smallest to largest. We learned that when we are trying to determine size it is important that we line items up at one edge to make a fair comparison. We learned that an object can be longer (plus longue) or shorter (plus courts) than another object. |
