Blog Entry – January 6th
LANGUAGE - READING
Students will be
examining how to bump up letters this week using the group letters they wrote
before the break. They will then continue to write their letters on a bi-weekly
basis starting the second week back after our holiday break.
We will be focusing on
inferencing a reading comprehension strategy.
WRITING
In writing the Grade 4’s
will be starting procedural writing and the Grade 5’s will be moving into explanatory
after their finish their persuasive advertisement presentations this week.
MATH
This week I will be
offering extra practice and reviews for the patterning re-quiz which will be
this Friday. I will hold extra math help on Tuesday at first break so students
can meet with me twice before the re-quiz.
Math Help
Wednesdays (1st break) and
Fridays (2nd break)
We will be continuing
with our Data Management unit. Students have already read, interpreted and
drawn conclusions from data in a whole class setting, group, and individual. As
a class we have reviewed how to calculate the mean, median, and mode. Students
have had the opportunity to create graphs in their problem of the week and as a
class. This week we will create our criteria for creating bar, circle,
pictographs, and line graphs.
