It was another sunny and glorious start to our day in Division 10. With the sun shining, and the students in high spirits, the first part of our day consisted of the class putting their heads together to play a word association relay. Once the relay was done, we took all of our words and created a grid of random words that would become the basis for the stories they would write. (see below) Following a visit to the music room, it was back to class to brush up on French. In the middle part of the day, the students worked on their TOP 5 lists that we had begun before the weekend. The afternoon was a lot of fun, as the grade 4s and 5s headed to Mrs. Cramer's class to interview their Lil' Buddies. When we finally returned to class, we decompressed and discussed the students' observations about our visit and the activity.
HOMEWORK: Please complete your Word Association short stories, based on the words we came up with in class earlier today. The idea of the activity is to weave seemingly unassociated words into a story. Remember, a story has a start, a middle and an end. It is not a random group of sentences.
REMINDER: Please have your USA and North Korea language art booklet completed, as we will go through the article, the vocabulary, and the answers on Wednesday.
IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES:
June 16th - Playland Field Trip
June 19th - Class trip to Movies with Lil' Buddies (Permission forms will be sent out later this week)
