Morning Meeting: We were a very small group today, so we spent some time talking about how we are doing and shared interests about ourselves. As our activity, we did a picture book read aloud and practiced our reading strategy of the term: inferencing.
Math: Prodigy
Social Studies: We began exploring what globalization means: the connection of different parts of the world and growing interdependence of the world’s economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and information.
As a group, we practiced using clues from images, text, and our background knowledge and experiences to make inferences as we did out read aloud.
Continuing on from week 3, we did another practice of paragraph colouring to help identify the different components that make a good structured paragraph. Today, we extended our learning and explored how our star ideas should go together, be related, or similar in some way. We had some fun coming up with our own star ideas on topics of our choosing using our dry erase pockets and sharing it with the group afterwards.
Art: Geoff Slater inspired line art painting. Geoff Slater is a watercolour and acrylic artist who paints images of the land and sea that surround his home in New Brunswick, Canada. His specialty is line painting. These images are painted using continuous line.
ADST – Marvelous Micro:bits:
Students learned how to code using micro:bit. They used a simulator online, and not a physical micro:bit.
Students learned about variables, arrays, input, and some basics. They moved around different blocks of code to make a random generator that tells them what to do when they are bored.
Literacy: As a group, we practiced using clues from images, text, and our background knowledge and experiences to make inferences as we did out read aloud.
Art:continuing on from our line art and pointillism.
Social Studies:
Silk Road Trade Game
Through representing various countries/societies, students traded their goods for goods that they needed/wanted. What did you notice? What surprised you? What questions do you have?
Students explored an online museum gallery to answer these questions:
