Ms. Parkhurst Daily Agenda

Please return any library books. We have a lot of overdue books. This morning we learned about our new and last word sort of the school year. Ask me what mine is. In math we continued learning about non standard and standard forms of measurement.  Ask me what we did! 

This morning we learned about alliterations. Ask me what an alliteration is. Check out our examples!   

No school on Monday!  Today we built our cargo ships and tested how big of a load it can carry. Ask me how much mine carried!  We also collected sticks for our caterpillar habitat. Did you know we have caterpillars?   

 Today we planned our tin foil cargo boats! Ask me what I know about the boat I am going to create.  We created Rhythms, in music, using Boom Whackers! Ask me about what I did! 

 Tomorrow is Career Day. Dress like something you want to be when you grow up.  This morning we learned about the schwa in words. It is when a syllable is less stressed making the vowel sound more relaxed. There is a schwa in words like mitten, alone, banana, problem. Let me show you the schwa in these words.  In math we started talking about standard and non standard form of measurement. We then measured our tables with pencils. Ask me what I noticed about non standard forms of measurement. This afternoon we started editing our animal research. 

Career Day is on Wednesday. Dress for the career you want when you are older.  We started our day reading the story Dear Little One as we were excited to be able to get back outside after a smokey week! We went outside and did some journaling of what we saw/ heard in front of us, behind us, to the right of us and to the left of us. Ask me what I drew!

 This afternoon we made sailboats and tested to make sure they float. Let me show you my sailboat and I can show you in the sink how it floats! Ask me what I did to make it float!  This morning we did a lesson on editing our animal research. We are almost ready to do the good copy of our research books.  For math we did how many ways for balancing the number 18. Ask me what this means. 

 This morning we started our day doing a lesson about homophones and homographs. I can tell you the different between the two and tell you more examples.  Hint: Homophone: bear/ bare, pair/ pear, week/ weak          Homograph: read/ read, bow/ bow, saw/ saw We think did literacy centres. Ask me which centres I did today! At lunch and recess we had to stay inside so we watched a movies. We watched Raya and The Last Dragon. It was a perfect choice for Asian history month and we were able to talk about how looking out for your community and using "we" instead of "I" is very important to Asian culture. We were able to make connections to how we help our community and how they help community in the movie.
