Welcome October!
We have worked through our "First 20 Days" math strand. We touched on a variety of subject areas in the math curriculum, but our main focus was how to be successful in math by having a GROWTH MINDSET. We learned how to work together with our peers to solve challenging math problems, how to organize our ideas, how to make a plan (of attack), and provide RICH answers that explain our thinking and rationalize our solutions.
Our second math strand, which began on Thursday, October 4th, is Number Sense and Numeration. We did a variety of PLACE VALUE activities, through "guided math" (where a small group works with a teacher), as a whole class, and in small groups. We worked with BASE TEN BLOCKS and students modeled their thinking using these math manipulatives.
Our Math classes are every morning for the first 100 minute block. The last 45 minutes approximately of this block will be spent doing our established MATH CENTRES (these include paper and pencil tasks, computer activities, games, teacher-led guided math challenges, to name a few). Students have been assigned a group, but please know these groups may change.
In Language, we are working on DESCRIPTIVE WRITING. We have a spelling list (18 new words) each week, with a quiz each Friday. In the next week or so, we will be starting speeches. Students will be able to choose their own topic, and write a two minute speech to share with the class.
Please contact me at sjongerden@scdsb.on.ca if you have any questions or concerns so far. Please contact me if you have not signed up for a STUDENT-LED CONFERENCE in November.
