We are officially back and at it in our portable! I hope that everyone had a wonderful break and we are all ready to get hit the ground running at school again.
LITERACY
In literacy we will be working with a new reading strategy of INFERRING (making an educated guess while we read). We will be working towards backing up our inferences about a text with evidence from the text selection. Some of our students in class will be writing CASI (a reading competency test) again this month, while other will continue to receive benchmark scores. Our focus for the next few weeks in WRITING will be to write to inform our readers, in particular about how to complete a procedure. In ORAL LANGUAGE we will be starting to discuss speeches by the end of January. We will be partnered with a Grade 6 class from Wyevale Central Public School to hear some of their speeches and give feedback along the way. In MEDIA studies we continue to discuss media in our lives and how we can become more educated media consumers. As always keep reading daily. Better readers make better writers!
MATH
Our math classes for the next few weeks will revolve around multiplying and dividing and then lead into exploring area and perimeter. There are several links in our Google Classroom to help you practice your multiplication and division skills.
