Tremendous Tuesday!
We began the day recalling what happened in
chapter one of our novel study and answering reading comprehension questions as
a class. We then moved onto reading chapter 2. Ms. Mackle’s class is having so
much fun bringing in green items that the class can eat for St. Patrick’s Day!!!
However, Mary get upset when Ida, Song Lee, and Doug are able to go to the cafeteria
to put their green treats in the fridge, because they learn a secret about
Harry and because all three friends get a cookie from the cook. Mary is so
upset that she does many unkind things to Song Lee who continues to try and
make her feel better! At the end of the chapter we learn that Harry didn’t
really bring in ants to eat (Harry’s secret), but raisons that look like ants!
We then had French and then gym.
After first recess and lunch we learned
about sorting circles and how we can sort items by attributes.
Attribute
A property of an object or person
etc.
Something you can say it has
(such as size or color).
Example: The attributes of a dog
include height, speed and colour.
We focused on five attributes: shape, size,
colour, direction and thickness. Ms. Jaskolka used pattern blocks and sorted
them within the hula-hoops and we needed to figure out her sorting rule. Then
we worked together to figure out sorting rules created by our friends!
We then
worked on some fun sorting activities. When using sorting circles, it is
important to keep in mind that the item that goes into the middle of our
sorting circles has the attribute from the left and right side.
After second recess and lunch we
got into groups and were given a list of scenarios where people chose to move away from
their home country. Students identified whether the scenario is a push or pull
factor and whether it is an Environmental, Social, Economic or Political
factor. Ms. Jaskolka is so proud of our understanding of push and pull
factors!!!!
