Today's Read Aloud Today we read a silly story " 13 Ghosts of Halloween". We noticed many interesting things in the story and made connections between it and a similar story " The 12 Days of Christmas" as well as many math concepts like, increasing, decreasing and repeating patterns, as well as rhyming words. Calgary Science Network Presentation with Rod Smith This morning we had a visit from a Geologist, Rod Smith. He talked to us about rocks and minerals and we got to try some hands on tests and experiments. Ask me what a streak test is and how we tested the "hardness" of various minerals. We also saw something interesting during the "acid test". I can tell you all about it. Tomorrow Mme Ireland will be giving us an "exit slip" where we will write about our understanding from today's presentation. English Language Arts - Writing This afternoon we brainstormed some ideas for our English Writing Project. Students will get to create an Autumn Soup or Halloween Stew recipe. We discussed the important elements for a successful recipe, which includes a title, an ingredients list and step by step instructions. We also discussed the success criteria for this assignment and the expectations. Our goal is to write a clear, detailed and well organized recipe , to use our understanding of letter sounds to write phonetically and to use tools such as a dictionary or thesaurus to search for new words and correct spelling. Mme Ireland can't wait to read about our delicious or perhaps ghoulish creations. Comments are closed.
