Hello everyone,
Take a look at what we've been doing in our class.
In Math, our class has spent a lot of time practising the skill of telling time.

 Ask your child what steps were needed to play this time game. This way you get to see your child apply their procedural text skills as well.

Here, students had to correctly answer a time question in order to receive a clipboard to answer the time questions that were posted in the hallway. (Thanks to Mrs. G for showing us this activity!)
 Our class will be having a formal assessment this week on time before we move onto money this week.

We are also wrapping up our unit on procedural writing and moving onto a Media Literacy unit in Language. The focus for this unit will be on what techniques are used in print and digital media to attract a specific audience. I hope you had a chance to look at your child's procedural text on how to visit this blog. I sent them home last Thursday. I think the students are going to be faced with a challenge to be able to explain what the purpose of media literacy is. So far, each unit we've explored really only had one main purpose. Ask your child what P, I  and E stand for.

Ask your child what game was played in gym is this photo.  Ask them to explain how the fourth person on the team plays when there is only 3 markers per team.

A few things to remember.......
