Today we started practicing for our Peace Assembly on November 8th. The kids picked what they wanted to do:
1. Tableau
2. Speaking Parts
3. Recipe For Peace
4. Animation/Video
The Tableau group practiced "freezing" and making big movements. The speakers joined the recipe for peace group to help them come up with words as the "ingredients" for peace. We read the book called Words by Laura Rozler to inspire us. The animation group looked at the stop-motion methodology and started to look at story boarding.
The Home Reading Program will start tomorrow and all information will be sent home.
We are almost done working on our Friendship Journals. We have been continuing our work with creating a sentence and thinking about what a sentence is. As a pod, we are recording ideas for sentences on individual students. For example, if asked what a child's favorite colors are, on the whiteboard only the following words are recorded: favorite, pink, blue. We want the students to think of a way to start the sentence and add in the connecting words such as "and". For example: Johnny's favorite colors are pink and blue. As well, we have been reviewing the size and shape of letters-/k/ is a tall letter, /u/ is a small letter and /j/ is a "diving" or "fishing" letter.
In math we are busy continuing our work towards our learning intention around number sense that was posted in October.
Have a fantastic evening!
