We had a great day full of fun and game based learning activities. We started this morning by reviewing the names of 3D shapes, and went outside for a shape hunt, to find 3D shapes running around to find the different shapes that were called out. We cooled down inside after by practicing some mental subtraction using flash cards. Some of our little learners really know their facts by heart! After completing our Daily 5 activities, we sat together to learn the 'shun' sound the is spelled with 'sion,' 'tion,' and 'cian'. We began rotating through 3 centres. Once centre focuses on how many syllables are in each of these long 'tion' words. Once centre is a vocabulary building, and reading game with Miss Soa, and the last centre is a sorting and writing activity with these words. Each small group worked through one centre today. Tomorrow we will be completing the other two. During our UOI period today, we read the story 'What If Everybody Did That." I have posted a youtube reading of it below. We talked about how good citizens follow rules, and what would happen if we all broke them. We will be doing a re-read of this tomorrow, and thinking of other kinds of chaos that may go on ...if everybody did that. We will also be writing a response about how to be good citizens in our families, at school, and in our neighbourhoods.
