We looked at the organizational structure of newspaper articles. It goes as follows: introduction, who, when, where, what, why, how, and conclusion. On Friday, we wrote a very basic article. We discussed how we could improve this newspaper article and how we would make it better. Yesterday, we started examining how to turn it from a lower level to a level 4+!
We continued with writing our article in groups, and brought everything together to create one amazing article. We will be starting our final project for Hatchet tomorrow!
Inquiry into Math – Today, we continued our art project for rotational symmetry. Students were asked to design one eighth of a circle, and then started to rotate the design to create symmetry. Look how great our designs turned out!
In the afternoon, we went to see the JK – Grade 2 arts night performance. It was so amazing – I hope you can all make it tonight.
Inquiry into Coding – Students continued to learn about animations in Scratch today. They are staring mini-project #3, which is a special surprise. This project is due Friday.
For homework:
· Coding mini-project #3 (due Friday)
· Math art (if not finished)
· Practice for Wizard of Oz
All homework for the day is placed here, but time may have been given in class to complete this work.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns by email, and I will respond as quickly as possible.
