Hi Everyone,
Here is what we worked on this week:
Reading - In reading groups we created our own word search with our spelling words. We also created a secret code that goes with our spelling words. We also practiced reading out loud and on our understanding of the stories we have read.
Writing - We reviewed how to edit our own writing. We also reviewed how to "GUM it" when we are writing. GUM it means:
G - Give the hard word a try and sound it out using our letter sounds.
U - Underline it.
M - Move on.
This strategy is to help us to not get stuck on a word for too long. We are trying to get all of our ideas on paper.
Math - We started measuring things today. We used the words shortest, tallest, shorter than, and longer than.
Science - We started our unit on Exploring Liquids with our in-school field trip, Teacher's Pet. Thank you so much to our parent volunteers that came to join us and help out.
Social Studies - We are exploring our own community of Calgary.
Have a good weekend!
