Math learning in room 26

Ms. Stevens is wrapping up her first teaching block and we sure are going to miss her!  She taught a super fun unit on shapes in math and the students got to participate in great activities to help them learn.  They did a shape scavenger hunt, games, and even got to build 3D shapes out of marshmallows! 

Building 3D shapes!

Reviewing during math centres!

Science Dioramas

In November, we made dioramas after researching a plant or animal that we were interested in.  Last week we got to present them to the class.  We found out what our subjects eat, what eats them, where they live and all about the adaptations that help them to survive.

This week at school was awesome!!!!

One thing I learned was shapes in math. We learned where sides and vertices were on the shapes. One thing I liked about math was learning new shapes. Even learning and remembering how much sides and vertices they have. In art we are doing snowman snapshot art. It is so much fun! In music and choir we are practicing Christmas concert songs. In the computer lab we are typing stories with Mrs. Dent Scarcello.  They are about when I woke up I was an ANIMAL!! In science we are sharing are dioramas. In are dioramas the grade 3s are making a plant out of clay and grade 4s are making an animal out clay it is a lot of fun!!!!!! And in gym we are doing racquet ball.

This week at school was fantastic! One thing I learned was more about the book called “The Witches”. The part the whole class is reading right now is when all these witches get turned into mice by a boy in a hotel and now the boy is back at home, the part the class left off was when he wanted to know how long he would live because HE turned into a mouse. Another thing I learned was how to sketch a haunted house. It’s a very nice house and you start off with making two big rooms, then you make windows, doors, a roof, and some final touches. One other thing I learned was how to play a game called “Kakooma”. It’s a big math game; you play by making an answer with groups of numbers. One thing I enjoyed this week was sketching a haunted house. It was fun sketching it because my house was REALLY nice and I also liked it because I don’t really sketch haunted houses. Another thing I enjoyed this week was playing the game “Kakooma with the whole class because when there was an answer in the game the whole class would say it out loud, I also enjoyed the Halloween party. I enjoyed it because I wait every year for Halloween and then I get candy and I can party! One goal I have for this week is to save as most candy as I can from Halloween!

Halloween 2015

We had a fantastic Halloween celebration yesterday!  We celebrated all afternoon with a costume parade in the gym, snacks and a movie!  It was a great day!  I hope everyone has a great time trick-or-treating tonight!  Be safe out there!

This week at school was another 4-day week. It wasn’t as fun as all the other weeks.  It wasn’t as fun because I fractured my collarbone last Thursday. One thing I learned this week was balancing equations on the board its fun when we do it on the board because you can show the class what you can do. 

Another thing I learned was how to say your birthday in French 'mon anniversaire.' Mine is deux janvier. One last thing I learned was old tom white on recorder it’s harder when I only have one hand but I tried my best!!! 

One thing I enjoyed was sketching Vampires, black cats and bats. One last thing I enjoyed was doing writers workshop, it’s when you can write about anything you want. I wrote about my dog Coco. Another thing I want to add is when the whole class including Ms. Dodds were laughing because Maliky made a really funny face none of us could stop laughing it was so funny!!!!! One goal for myself this week is to keep trying and don’t let my arm bring me down from what I want to do.
