Point of View

This week our writing has focused on Point of View. We've looked at the similarities and differences between 1st person and 3rd person. We sorted books based on the POV.

And then we started writing from different points of view. I've attached the dogs power point that we used in class. The kids wrote 3-5 sentence stories from a third person POV about the picture. Then they switched to 1st person and they pretended they were the dog. This a great activity to do with any picture!

Welcome Back!

I hope you had a fantastic Fall Break. I have to admit, it was great not being at school and getting to spend time with Emily! But I did plenty of planning and grading while I was away too!

 

So far, this has been a great and busy week. We've covered lots of information and have worked hard!

Just a reminder that we'll be covering the following topics in the next nine weeks. Not surprising, there's a lot here!

Reading:  cause and effect, main idea and details, shades of meaning, sequencing, theme, compare and contrast, author’s purpose, character traits, story structure, drawing conclusions

Math:  unit fractions, equal area, fractions on a number line, adding and subtracting fractions, fractions in measurement, line segments and lines, telling time, elapsed time, volume, mass, adding units of length, counting money, measurement conversions, multiplication facts through x10

Don't forget to check out Math Facts Pro and Moby Max for extra practice. I've added them to our Math Links too (you need to sign in so the work is recorded).

Math Test Tomorrow

Tomorrow is our Quarter 1 Math Test. For homework, the students need to finish their review sheets. We completed part of it together in class. If you want a blank copy to practice at home, click on the link below to download it!
