For our weekend journal writing, we learned to double space our writing so that we can edit our spelling and sentences in between the lines. We also learned how to add more detail to our responses by answering the following questions when writing in our journals:
- Who was I with?
- What did I do?
- Where did I go?
- When was it? ("On Saturday, I ____" / "On Sunday, I ____")
- and How did I feel? ("I felt ____ because _______.")
Moving forward, journal writing will now be assigned for homework on Mondays (due the following day) for those that do not finish writing in their responses in class.
We continued to work away at our Pattern Palooza posters after looking at some interesting increasing and decreasing patterns made by students in room 1 & 2.
Then, in gym, we added on to our skills for floor hockey by learning how to dribble with a puck and stick, then weaving through pylons while dribbling, and then passing to a partner before shooting in the goal.
We ended our day with our nature paintings. Many of us moved on to adding details to our painting with skinny brushes and water-color paint, such as branches, grass, trees, and so on. We also learned how to add snow to our nature paintings with white Tempera paint.
