Daily 5 - Hard at work!

For the past month the students have been working hard at implementing the Daily 5 into our ELA routines. The Daily 5 are a great wait to gain independence while enjoying the choice to choose our activity in our learning.
The Daily 5 are :

Read to Self (sitting in a comfortable position, reading in our heads, head in our books)


Read to Someone - Sitting EEKK (elbow to elbow and knee to knee) we read together while whispering to one another.

Listening Centre - At the listening centre, we choose a book and listen to the story no more than 3 at a time.

Writing - Free writing in our journals. What ever our hearts desire we can write about it and draw in our English journals.

Word Work - This is a great time to practice our word families and spelling words for the week. We can work with a friend using the small white boards, we can use the magnetic letters, etc. 

And just for fun, we've added a 6th routine, which is Reading with Mme. In a group setting, we sit and work on different parts of reading. Currently we are focusing on fluidity in our reading and understanding what we read.

December 8-13 - Another Friday 13th!

Only one week left before the holiday break and we keep on working and working!
This week we studied many good things.

We mailed our letters to Santa Claus. Fingers crossed everyone is on the Good List this year! :)

We worked hard on making our cards and gifts for our parents. Only a little more paint and we're DONE! It's well worth it! Just you wait and see! Everyone is very excited!

We decorated little Christmas trees and wrote about them in French.

We even got invited by the Heritage Retirement Home to come and sing to the residents next Monday. That means we had to practice our carols. (And still practice them this weekend! Here are the songs we plan on singing (youtube.com has great videos for these songs along with the lyrics):

- Frosty the Snowman
- Mr Grinch
- Oh Christmas Tree
- Quand le Pere Noel vient me visiter
- We wish you a Merry Christmas
- Jingle Bells
- Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
- Deck The Halls

Since we're practicing those songs, might as well practice our Winter Concert song too.
