TWAS - October 4

This week our class decided to write a community TWAS entry. Students were given a topic and wrote about what we did as a group.

In English, we did "Words Their Way." We did a blind writing sort with our words. What we did was write the words in our booklet in the correct column after our partner read the word aloud. We also read chapters 3 & 4 of our novel study Little House in the Big Woods. We did a drawing about a part of the book and wrote sentences about the connections we had with the book.

This week at school, we did a readers' theatre play called "La rentrée". It is about school objects that can talk to each other. We also learned how to identify nouns and articles in sentences. We used our highlighters to mark the words.

Our main subject in sciences humaines is how to resolve conflicts and be a good citizen. You cannot solve a conflict without finding a peaceful solution. You can do that by compromising, using your words or moving away from the problem. If the person who is bothering you does not stop, you have the right to go to a teacher or a responsible adult that you trust to help you solve the problem.
It is important to respect private and public property. If something is private property, it means it belongs to someone and you need to get permission from the person who owns it to have anything to do with it. Public property means you have the right to do something with it - although you still have to respect it.

This week in music we started choir. We're doing a song called "Take These Wings". It is about a sparrow dying and a baby sparrow starting life. We also started Orff. We are doing a play about birds fighting. In art we are learning about textures and did a texture picture.

 In math, we learned about how many ones, tens and hundreds are in a number. We had a lot of fun doing math this week. We also did some mental math activities. We did a review of addition strategies. In math we also worked with Mme Kwiatkowski.  We did a dance with the hundred chart showing the multiples of 2, 3, 5, 7 & 10.

In sciences naturelles, we are learning about sounds - high, low, soft, loud, pleasant and unpleasant. We wrote down sounds we like and ones we don't like. If we didn't have vibrations, there would not be sounds. Sounds go in all directions and if it hits a wall it will bounce off and keep on going.
