IMPORTANT NOTICE!

Division 1,

​I have had to turn off all blog comments on the website due to inappropriate posting. I feel quite disappointed that someone would do this to a school website that is only used to help people learn. Whoever you are, I am asking you to please not do this again and to let us continue to learn and communicate in a Supportive, Open Minded,
Awesome, and Respectful environment.

Sincerely,


Mr. Fisher

Today students learned how to set the scene in their writing and use description to paint mind picture for readers. After practising, students spent much of the day working on their writing as well as learning how do use a spread sheet to  create a graph. Students had to input all of their data from the ecosystems inquiry into a spreadsheet and then they started creating graphs.
1.) SCIENCE:
  • Finish entering all of your data and work on creating 4 graphs
  • 2 graphs will show changes and contributing factors
  • 2 graphs will show  energy transfer
  • Lab write up will be due Next Week (Thursday or Friday) 

2.) ALPHABIOGRAPHY: 20 pieces due tomorrow!

3.) POST A RESPONSE:

Who wants to be told everything? Not me! 
Students learned and practiced an important writing strategy called show me, don't tell me. Good writer's show the readers things they don't tell them everything. For math, we practiced comparing fractions and in the afternoon we started our applied skills and design unit: SEWING! Students will be learning three different types of stitches and then will be designing and creating their own projects. Let's all learn to sew together!
IMPORTANT: We still need 2 more parent volunteers for the field trip on Monday. Please ask your parents if they can come and help supervise. There is no cost for parent volunteers.

1.)Alphabiography:
18 pieces

2.) Science: Lab sections 1 and 2 (tomorrow)

3.) Math: p47-49 #1-11 (click)

4.)ADST-Sewing- Tie off and running stitch

5.) Post A Response:

When the student raised their hand I could tell from the look in their eyes that what they were going to say would change our lives forever!

Today's students learned an effective strategy for hooking readers. They learned how to start at an exciting part and then backfill. They saw several examples written by the teacher and then had a chance to practice on their own. I was very happy with the progress!
