Today we: had a much easier time with the phonics routine change. It happened to be the day I do not have any lessons in the word work rotation, so I was able to circulate the groups and help them with their tasks. Having chapter books made the word hunt task much easier!
In literacy block, many students chose to do word ladders for either literacy games group or as a task when they were done their job. It was great to see the collaboration and teamwork with the ladders, and how many new words they either know already or get to learn.
After recess, the picture pies were finally finished and they calculated how many pieces of each color pie were used to make their picture. Check out some creative ones below!
We read some more of the Jumbies before lunch and things are really getting dramatic as Corinne pretends to be a mythical goddess to fool the new islanders they meet by wearing snakes around her neck!
The class always has 20 minutes of silent reading after lunch, and they went to music after. Unfortunately, the amazing Mr. Newton was needed elsewhere, so Ms. Gadbois and I taught gym. Instead of games like yesterday, we continued the jump-rope and skipping lessons based on the short tutorial Mr. Newton gave me just before school started this morning. Everyone gave their best effort and the energy was hard to tune down when we got back to class.
We learned about another newcomer today, Alfred Waddell. He was a black man in Nova Scotia who provided medical care to the town of Africville - a town where black residents were given minimal to no amenities.
The class has earned 11 of their allotted 12 Minecraft points so it is looking promising to play for the full hour tomorrow!
