PJ Day
On Wednesday, January 27, 2014, we had our first School Spirt Day, PJ Day. Staff and students wore their pyjamas, and some brought special pillows and stuffies. Many students in our class participated.
In Room 204, we did some pj related activities. We had a Reading Marathon, and we made Polygon PJ's. In their Science class, they made a tent-like structure that they might be able to use at a sleepover!
Novel Study
For the past few weeks, we have been reading the novel "Search for Delicious". The students and I enjoyed it very much, since it was filled with fantasy, adventure, mysterious creatures, and had some messages. Ask your child what the messages were! We also had Literature Circle discussions where each student has a role, and they discuss the action, ideas, and deeper meaning in the text. These Literature Circles were student-led, and there was some rich discussion coming out of them.
Ad Campaign
Students are now taking what they learned during our media unit, adding it to our novel study, and creating print ads, radio commercials, and TV commercials for "Search for Delicious". I can't wait to see how they turn out!
Returned work
Students got back quite a bit of marked work last week. Students should read the comments, and aim to improve next time. Students may bring the work home to show you, but it MUST come back to school, and be in their folders.
Report Cards
Report cards will be sent home on February 12. Since there is no interview day for this report card, I will contact you if I feel an interview is necessary. All parents were interviewed for the Progress Report.
when are all of our ad campaigns due?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who It's Me is, but we'll be working on the Ad Campaigns IN CLASS. As I watch you work on them, I will decide how much more time you need, but I 'd like to see them finished at the end of this week, or early next week.
