Week 10

We started a full round of your Daily 5. Our Daily 5 involves working on Read with the Teacher, Passion Project, Read to Self, Word Work and Work on Writing. 

We have been working on sharing our personal strategies in math. When sharing our personal strategies, it is important to show your work and understanding, communicate and collaborate with others, show our strategies step by step, speak clearly and calmly, and use math vocabulary.

This week we learned about Goal Setting. We created goals and strategies that will help us with our descriptive writing. We need to take steps to reach our goals. We use strategies to help us reach our goal. Some of our strategies might be using the success criteria, learning intentions, the worn out word wall and the sensory word bank to help improve our descriptive writing. 

We started our cardboard challenge. We are making games for our winter indoor recess.
