The students had a busy today. We are learning how write clear instructions on how to tie your shoe - using the App Book creator on the ipads. The students are using pictures, video and audio to give clear yet detail instructions on how to tie your shoe laces. Book creator is a paid app but you may want to consider downloading it on your ipad. We are learning how use procedural writing. We will continue this on Monday with Mr. Loat - District Technology Consultant. We are going to create an ibook about our Science Jam projects. We hope that each group will create a book that documents their projects.
In math we had a quiz on decimals today - some students found this challenging - we will review the decimal concepts next week.
In Socials we began our Immigration timeline - entitled - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly - the Canadian Immigration Experience. Students used the ipads to research significant events in Canada's Immigration history. Again - challenging for some students to stay on task without me keeping a close eye on their work. We are working towards being responsible for our own learning during class time.
Please ensure the students are continuing to read every night. It does not matter what the students are reading - just as long as the kids are reading every night for at least 20 minutes.
