What does peace feel like?

It has been a busy week in Room 6 - more photos from the week will be posted in the next few days! 

Here is an overview about what we have been working on:

1. Peace

We read the story "What does Peace Feel Like". Students have been working on painting pictures about what they think peace smells like, tastes like, looks like and feels like. They are then moving into writing some 'juicy' sentences about those pictures.

2. Reading 

We continue to emphasize reading and different strategies you can use when you hit a word you don't know. These include reading ahead, thinking about what word makes sense (context) and chunking words. Home reading has gone out today - our library is in the middle of reorganziation so thank you for your flexibility concerning books going home. 

3. Math

We are moving into patterning. Please check out the math page for new links for patterning activities. Students should still continue to review skip counting by 2's, 5's and 10's. 

As always, if you have any further questions please feel free to contact me!
