Today we: Started a new unit in phonics. We've been practicing playing with the sounds at the beginning of words. Today we looked at the ending sounds. The routine was hard to change as the students were so used to listening for the beginning sound so it took a few repeats to get into the groove.
After recess, we finished our fraction pie art! The pictures were very clever and well done. We still have to do our calculations for the fractions, but I will post a picture of them once the students have completed the assignment. Those who finished first practiced more equivalent fraction comparisons with a few more problems. I went over the problems as a class when everyone was done.
Before lunch, we read another chapter of the Jumbies. Since we have decided to start reading every day, this time the students were expected to only listen, not do any writing. Based on how that went, students will be expected to record in their visual journals every time from now on to limit distractions.
The class had music after lunch, and then used the chromebooks to complete a social assignment. Learning about newcomers that created the multicultural Canada, they watched a video about Martha Black, an American who came to Canada for the Gold Rush in 1897. She ended up being a member of the House of Commons and advocated for the people of Yukon. After completing their comprehension questions, they had time on prodigy before going to P.E. for revenge dodgeball.
