Monday, December 9
Today we started with Circle time, and then moved into our new Math unit about probability. Students identified the likelihood of a particular event occurring using vocabulary such as "certain," "possible and likely," "possible but unlikely," and "impossible." Then, working in pairs, students created probability continuums (ranging from "impossible" to "certain"), and placed events of their choosing into the appropriate spots on the line, relative to the other events.
As we did not have Phys. Ed. today, we had DPA (Daily Physical Activity) time in our classroom, being active to videos from GoNoodle and then playing Wax Museum. We had some DEAR time to silent read, and then we continued reading The Boundless together. We finished chapter three and started writing and drawing on our storyboards to summarize the chapter.
In Social Studies we moved North from the Cordillera Region to begin exploring the Arctic Region of Canada. Students read through the textbook chapter and took jot notes that highlighted the region's landforms, location, natural resources, vegetation and wildlife, unique features, recreation, and history. We also spent some time reviewing how to take a good jot note.
We ended the day with our Positive Choices reward of free computer and iPad time (in our pajamas, with our blankets and stuffed animals).
