Have you ever had a light bulb moment? Today in math it seemed as though there were several of them. Students were asked to work independently to create both the multiplication and division sentences. They rocked it! For some added practice click on the following link.
In the afternoon we presented a reader's theatre to our buddies and helped them locate Star Fall. We concluded the afternoon working on our Psanky eggs. The detail and process to complete them is amazing! Have a wonderful evening! Mrs. Hordyk It absolutely amazes me how amazing parents are! Thank you for the responses of those who can volunteer. I very much appreciate it. We have enough volunteers for next weeks trip to the Bow Habitat.
This afternoon we visited division. We worked in partners, shared our understanding and related it back to multiplication. Ask your child what their number was and how they solved it. We finished our design and plans for our Psyanky eggs. I'm hoping to begin the decorating tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening! Mrs. Hordyk It was great to see everyone back after the break.
We got right into our work! This morning Mrs. Henderson reviewed and introduced the next step in their preparation for the Spring Concert on April 20th. We had an assessment on division and multiplication. We have a pretty strong grasp on multiplication, but will need to revisit division. In the afternoon, we travelled to our next country of study, Ukraine. We discussed similarities and differences between their culture and ours. As the upcoming holiday of Easter approaches, we talked about how in Ukraine they also decorate eggs, but they are called Psanky Eggs. We watched a video of the process and were amazed! We will be designing our own and creating them. We are in need of one volunteer for the upcoming field trip to the Bow Habit. Have a wonderful evening! Mrs. Hordyk Why does it seem time goes by so quickly when there are so many things to finish?
This morning we completed Daily 5, we finished the morning off by researching some more information about India. Students read the information from various websites, evaluated which was greatest importance and reworded it onto a sticky. Their finding are on display just outside the classroom. This afternoon it was structure time! Just imagine groups of paper mache, groups painting, and groups building. Each group had a job and task and a goal. Tomorrow we are finishing up painting and hopefully will have them ready to display. Have a wonderful evening! Mrs. Hordyk First day of Spring - This morning we had a mini lesson on what Vernal Equinox means. Ask your child what each word means and what it represents.
What a wonderful Monday. This morning the students had an extended Music time with Mrs. Henderson practicing their upcoming musical. Some requested the lyrics for home to practice. I will be posting a link with the lyrics to some of their songs. This afternoon we had a practice lockdown. We reviewed what is the expectations during the time and the importance of remaining silent. Our practice was a success! We finished the afternoon by working on our Calgary structures. Some were finishing up building, while others did paper mache. Tomorrow we will have an opportunity to continue paper mache, painting and building. Have a wonderful evening! Mrs. Hordyk This morning went by very quickly!
Mr. MacKenzie came into our classroom and assisted us in creating digital group documents. Students researched the chickadee. We will take this information and use it for our art project that will be displayed in Fish Creek. Students performed their Bollywood dance. They did a fantastic job! This morning, the students played a game of Hang man - please ask them what the message was. Have a wonderful weekend! Mrs. Hordyk What an AMAZING day!
With the weather first thing this morning, I was wondering how the field trip would turn out. The sun came out and temperatures increased. It was fantastic! Students learned about the impact humans have made over thousands of years on Fish Creek Park. They also continued to explore how different animals adapted to the various weather changes. At the end of the day, we voted on which animal we would like to create for our art piece that will be on display at the Education Centre in Fish Creek. The students decided on the chickadee. Tomorrow we are presenting our Bollywood routine at 10:30. Parents are welcome to attend. Have a great night! Mrs. Hordyk Having a clear plan goes a long way!
This morning, Mrs. Hordyk did an example and non-example of building structures. Students identified some successful strategies and methods to building their structure. We created a plan and got to work for the afternoon. They are turning out to be AMAZING! Tomorrow we will continue to build and start paper mache. In the morning, students continued to develop their Bollywood performance. Their performance will be on Friday at 10:30 am. Reminders: Our Fish Creek Field trip is on Thursday. Have a wonderful evening! Mrs. Hordyk |
