LANGUAGE:

Today we began lesson #7 in our spelling workbooks. This lesson was about consonant blends, such as sk, ld, lk, cr, pt, sk, nk, tw, and st and vowel pairs ai, ay, oa, ow. We were also able to read a chapter of Anne!

Homework - Remember to read for 30 minutes each night!

- Finish spelling lesson #7

- Sign and return spelling test – write out wrong words 10 X

MATH:

Today we finally got back at it. Today we examined estimating time. Remember an estimate is a reasonable guess. A reminder for students to include the units of measurement when answering questions, such as hours, minutes, day, weeks, etc. We began by estimating how long it would take some of our classmates to say the alphabet, both the regular way and backwards!

Homework – MMS pg 92-93

UOI:

Today we began our second UOI unit – Loud and Clear (How the World Works - Light and Sound). We began by creating a KWL chart about light and sound, completing a ‘find all the sounds’ activity, and beginning our title page.

Homework – finish title page – due Wednesday

-  Sign and return UOI summative assessment from O’Canada


Have a wonderful night!
