Teacher’s corner:
ELA: This week we
started reading novel ‘Swindle’ by Gordon Korman. We have finished reading the
first 2 chapters: students took turns reading out loud to the class. Our focus this
week is the setting of the story. Students compiled a list of descriptors that
author used to bring the first setting of the novel, the Rockford mansion, to
life. Using the list students have represented the setting in their visual
journals.
Our
goal is to explore, describe and discuss the influence of the setting on the events
of the story.
Math: We continue working on patterns. Students are
practising solving math problems through creating tables, recording and
analysing numerical patterns. Quiz on
patterns is on Monday.
Our goals as defined by the
program of studies are:
-
recognising patterns in the world and nature around us
-
analysing and determining numerical patterns
-
solving math problems using numerical patterns
