Today we finished a read along titled "Those Shoes" by Maribeth Boelts, We did some text to self connections by relating the story to our own experiences. We talked about a time when they may have asked parents for something and were told it was too expensive and about helping out someone in need/someone less fortunate then ourselves.
We did some more Rural/Suburban/Urban exploration in our Social Studies class with a graphic organization sort in our table groups. We then watched a Brainpop Jr video about the physical/human characteristics of each of these communities and talked about jobs and recration activities that could be found in each.
**If time, please review the video with students on the weekend and help them pull out key information from the video**
In art, I will be showing the different Achievement Level standards in the Ontario Curriculum
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Your child should be aiming for Level 3; Level 3 is at grade standard and means that your child is progressing as normal through all curriculum areas. These levels are not just for Art but for all subjects.
*I will be sending unfinished art home on Friday to be finished over the weekend, there will be no more in class time for this project*
*Please note that on Thursday, as the students are swimming, that you may pick them up by the pool area/Library entrance*
I have also set up a online classroom management system called Class Dojo, I will send a registration code home with the students, so that you can track their behaviour during class time and also take away/add points for work done at home!!! :D
