June Scholastic Book Orders due Wednesday June 13 – This will be the last Scholastic order for the year. Online orders or cheques preferred. Thank-you.
Blue Terry Fox Notice going home with oldest/only.
Today We:
- Continued researching about India in partners using various books.
- Cut, glued, and sorted 22 various polygons into our visual journals using self-selected rules. Students please tell your parents what a polygon is, as well as what rules you used to sort your polygons.
- Glued some of our work from throughout the year that was displayed around the classroom into our visual journals. Today we are taking home our tinfoil birds, and our Sunflower projects, as they cannot be put into our visual journals.
- Continued reading our class read aloud The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan.
- Had an introductory lesson about Power Point.
- Played kickball in Gym.
- Watched Eyewitness: Butterflies and Moths. Students please tell your parents 4 interesting facts you learned from the video.
- Began using individual laptops and the PowerPoint program to create an informative slide show about what we have learned about India so far; each student is deciding what information they feel is the most important to include in their individual PowerPoint. Students please tell your parents what you enjoyed about exploring the PowerPoint program today, as well as what information you included so far in your project.
