We did some reading on Remembrance Day today. The children were reading newspapers that shared stories of Canadians during war times. The year fours went to the other Montessori classroom today and their grade sixes joined ours. The grade sixes looked at a menu and figured out how to find subtotals and add 5% tax to the bill. It was a lot of fun! Homework: - library tomorrow - rough copy of independent letter - literacy rotations tomorrow - home reading Have a good night!
November already! We started our literacy rotations today. The children will cycle through six stations throughout the week focusing on grammar, morphology, spelling patterns, typing skills, writing and fine motor skills. We will carry on with these for the next six weeks. We also did some brainstorming for letter writing. The students will each choose a perspective and write a war time letter. Homework: - home reading - return library books Have a good night.
