January 7, 2019 - Happy New Year and welcome back!

Agenda:
  • Read 20 min
  • Library tomorrow- bring books for return/ renewal

What did we do today?
  • In journals, we are thinking about what to write about our winter break.  Ms. Jones had us draw a dresser in our books to help us organize our ideas and details into drawers.
  • In art, we started an art project based on a book called Snowmen at Night.  We watched a video showing how to do this using chalk and Ms. Jones had us pay attention to where the light was being shown , as well as shadows.
  • In gym, we started our basketball unit.  We practiced our ball handling/ tricks and dribbling skills using volleyballs and rubber dodgeballs since the basketballs were not ready to use (really deflated!).
  • In music, Mr. O'Reilly read us a book called Hiawatha and the Peacemaker. We also went around sharing a story about our winter break using a talking stick.
  • During computer lab, we did Mathletics and Ms. Cowdy assigned us multiplication strategies.
  • In math, we started with skip counting and a game of Sparkle.  This is a way to figure out multiplication problems.  The grade 4's worked on review, while the grade 3's used skip counting to solve given questions with their whiteboards.
