Today was a quiet day. Hope everyone is being safe on the roads and sidewalks and keeping warm.
This morning, after Daily 5, to practice our word wall words we brainstormed a list of all the ways we could practice them. Then, we each got to choose a way and practice, if we wanted to we could also switch activities. Some of the ways to practice were - whiteboard, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, fancy letters, straws, pyramid writing, and more. Ask me how I practiced my words today!
In Phys Ed we played a fun game to practice out throwing and catching skills. There were four teams and we had to work together, with our team, to get everyone on the mat. It ended up in a tie between 2 teams!
After Phys Ed we continued our creative writing. It has been a while since we have worked on this kind of writing, so it was good to continue it. First we reviewed what creative writing is and what good writing looks like. We will keep these ideas in mind as we continue on with our creative story writing.
Creative writing is: making up a story from a picture, something that is made up, using your imagination when writing, might be sad, happy, silly or funny
Good writing looks like: neat and nice printing, using periods at the end of sentences, capitols at the start of sentences, spaces between words, using long/full sentences, detail (who, what, where, when, why, and how)
Following recess we had library. We still need to work on remembering to bring our books back so that we can sign out a new one. Until we show responsibility for taking care of the books and bringing them back on time, we cannot take out 2 books. Library is every Tuesday.
After library, we took some time to read more of our novel, The One and only Ivan.
This afternoon, following music, we did Social Studies. Yesterday we talked about 3 out 6 regions in Alberta. We reviewed them quickly before learning about the other 3 regions. The regions we learned about today were, Parkland, Boreal Forest, and Canadian Shield. Ask me 2 things that I learned about each region.
To end the day, we had a body break and wrote/drew information about the 3 regions we learned today in our visual journals.
Dress warm!
