Art with Ms. Dunbar begins our Thursday mornings. It's great to get the creative juices flowing! We enjoyed Art class then took that creativity straight through to our writing lesson today. We wrote our Writing Territories today. Writing Territories are like topics/ideas that we know a lot about. Topics that are important to us that we can then map and turn into a paragraph (or more!). We set up our writing composition notebooks and our first entry was our Writing Territories. We will refer to this list when we have free writing time. It was fun to share and hear about all the things our classmates are interested in!
Following writing we moved into math. Our learning target to day was "I can read, write and compare whole numbers." We reviewed place value to the millionth place, then worked on a partner game comparing large numbers. It was lots of fun!
In Social Studies today we focused on relating our IB learner profile traits/attributes to real life. We reviewed the 10 traits then listened for them in a familiar read aloud, A Fine, Fine School. We shared out about ways that the traits were portrayed in the story. Then each table worked on illustrations for 1-2 words. We will turn some into posters to display in our room.
We had a short recess outside before the raindrops began to fall then headed in for lunch. We ended the day with PE and Music.
Tomorrow we are looking forward to our first School-Wide Assembly in the morning as well as our library orientation! Be on the lookout for library books this weekend!
PS. We are in need of a few more supplies: Each child will need 2 more composition notebooks and 2 portfolio notebooks (the paper kind with 2 pockets and brads in the middle for inserting paper). Thank you so much!
Also, we have snack time in our class around 9:30. Please send a snack with your child if you intend for him/her to eat. We eat lunch at 12:30. Thanks!
