Today We:
- Practiced the date in French.
- Played soccer games in small teams during Gym.
- Worked on our third UNICEF card using hearts and tissue paper.
- Learned how to fold an envelope using a single sheet of white paper.
- Participated in self-directed Literacy Stations. Students worked on one of five stations: Poetry Pause, Current Events, Buddy Reading, Word Work, Ipad, and Listening Station. Some students have taken work home to complete.
- Reviewed our Favourite Colour graphs from yesterday. We noted things that we did well, and things that we needed to add or change in our next graph. We discussed important pieces that need to be present in a bar graph, such as a title, labels, a scale, colour, and straight lines. Students then got into partners to create a new graph about favourite ice cream using the data provided by Ms. England. We will continue working on these graphs tomorrow.
- Began working on our Secret of Nimh Venn diagrams comparing similarities and differences between the book and the movie. We will be using this venn diagram to create a persuasive piece of writing encouraging people to either watch the movie or read the book.
Student Quotes:
“I liked starting our thank-you cards for UNICEF because we got to cut out hearts and tissue paper.”
“I learned how to fold an envelope without gluing or taping the paper.”
“I liked starting the Nimh project because we got to use Venn diagrams.”
“I liked Math because we got to create new graphs with new partners.”
“I liked Math because I liked looking at other people’s graphs to see what they did well and what they could change for next time.”
Question: What is one difference between Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh book and The Secret Of Nimh movie?
