Notice:
Friday is a Pro-D day
no School
We began the day in the computer lab where the students worked in tux paint and Microsoft Word to draw and describe their favourite Halloween Costume ever. Writing descriptions is what we are looking at this week. Starting with something the students have to imagine, but still have a vivid picture of in their mind is, I hope, an easy place to begin. The fact they are interested and excited about the topic also helps.
We read from Giraffe and bird. Students shared their like or dislike or connections to the story.
We continued working on socials and science studying salmon. In socials we looked at the significance of salmon to the first nations peoples on the West coast. We talked about how to the first nations Salmon symbolizes determination and persistence and also wealth and prosperity because the Salmon is the primary food source for the people of the Northwest Coast.
The students wrote some great salmon poems :
A bear eating a salmon
An eagle eating a salmon
A fox eating a salmon
Salmon spawning
Salmon dying
The river is full with salmon
A solitary salmon jumping
Salmon jumping through water falls
Salmon in shallow water
An eagle flies down onto the rocks
Painted Salmon pictures:
We do daily silent reading
Students worked on their spelling words for the week. Test will be Thursday as Friday is a Pro-D day.
