This was something we did at the end of the day on Wednesday.

This sentence work is building towards and integrated Art and Language activity.  More details to follow.  This image is a review of sentences and distinguishing between "fragments" and complete sentences.


In Science, we began to talk about the importance of eating healthy.  This topic will be paired with an examination of the digestive system.  For homework, the students are to fill in some information for the first two columns of this chart:

We will continue our work on sentences tomorrow.  I will do a lesson about Compound Sentences and we do some practice together.  It is my intention that we can begin to work on this creative Art assignment I have in mind.

A friendly reminder (along with a short discussion) around how we should treat one another in class.

We are in the process of finishing off a film a intended to start last Friday.  it is called Brownstones to Red Dirt and follows the story of a Pen Pal relationship between students from New York and a group of students from Sierra Leone who have survived the devastation of the Civil War.  Here is the trailer of the film.

Although we are studying Canadian History, I will be making a link between the Historical Concepts we are studying in History and this film.

HOMEWORK:

Final Spelling dictation on Friday + Unit 2 work due
Read for 15 min
Science:  Start working on the KWL chart on Healthy Eating and Digestion
