Check out our Doc cam in action

The school recently purchased a document camera for classrooms to use. We have been using it quite frequently and the students are adjusting very well to this new piece of technology. The document camera allows student's to project their work onto our video screen so everyone can take a good look. It really helps the kids work with one another.
Below, Thomas and Dominic are describing their 2D figures.

Welcome 2016!

I hope everyone had a safe and restful Christmas Break. Currently the class is working on 'Listing' their TOP 10 Christmas Break Events...Letterman style. It seems as if many were excited about being able to sleep in and staying up late enough to watch the 'ball drop'! 
We will also be focusing on writing and reading instructions over the next few weeks. Just before Christmas we had the opportunity to see a 'traditional ' Christmas at the Park House Museum. I will be posting pictures shortly for you to enjoy!

Congratulations Jayden

Today the class was presented with a challenging estimation task. The items in the jar were all different shapes and sizes and there was also empty space that students had to account for. Jayden & (Mrs. Plante) were the closest today.

3-2-1: Non Fiction is FUN!


Over the past weeks we have been looking at different types of non-fiction text. We have also been looking for important text features that can be found to help us (the reader) decide if something is fiction or non-fiction. Here are some pictures of the class sharing facts they discovered using our 3-2-1 graphic organizer.
