Today students started researching their chosen region of Alberta. All of our hard work last year with taking jot notes came in handy as students explored various websites to find relevant information to their region. We started talking about grouping our facts into categories or topics, and some students made t-charts or columns to help organize their information as they researched. I was really impressed with how hard they were working on this!
This afternoon in writing we revisited "hamburger writing" and discussed what a good paragraph needs. Students practiced this by writing a paragraph about any topic of their choice while using a graphic organizer. This will help us as we reconstruct our jot notes to form paragraphs about our region of Alberta.
Reminders
- Finish mathletics homework if you have not yet done so
- Read for 20 minutes
Question of the Day
What is one interesting fact you learned about your region of Alberta today?
Have a wonderful night!
