Our trip to see Black Violin was a blast! The students got to hear the violin played a variety of ways. The performers encouraged the kids to find something they love, practice it, and think outside the box. Just a few pictures of them dancing...
Today I want to share a couple of the iPad apps that we use regularly in the classroom. If you have a device at home that supports these apps you may want to use them for extra practice, or homework. I will try to share apps that I find with you more often in the future.
The first app that I absolutely love is for spelling is called Word Wizard. The app sounds out the words so that the students have a visual and audio available for the word they are working on.
A fabulous app for math is Number Pieces. I love this app because you can manipulate the base ten pieces to create, add, subtract and change numbers. It has a pen feature so you can write the digits. It also trades the pieces for you.
This past week we spent time reviewing almost every part of Daily 5 to help get us back into routine. This week we will review Word Work. I will send home some ideas for practicing spelling words later this week. The idea sheet will add some fun to your daily spelling routine.
This morning we used Kidblog to do our journal writing. We will now do our journal writing as blog posts. Students will be learning about online etiquette, creating interesting blog posts, and commenting on posts. Please use the link on the side to check out our classroom page, which contains each individual page.
Last week the Grade 3s finished their unit on numbers to 1000. You should have seen a copy of their test come home. Please sign it and return it to school. This week we will begin Addition and Subtraction to 1000.
The Grade 2s are just finishing a math unit on Numbers to 100. They will begin a Measurement unit later this week.
Grade 2s are currently learning about body parts in French class.
In Religion we are currently learning about Jacob.
Have a fabulous week!
