Little learners have been searching through the social studies text book to locate nonfiction text features. Looking for the Table of Contents, webs, headings index's etc. will help them to become familiar with the feature and see the different ways information can be represented.
Looking at the geographical region of the mountains we brainstormed all the things we already know about mountains, asked a few questions we would like answers to and then made predictions about the book we were going to read. We used the Table of Contents to find out what was in the book, chose a topic to read about and found out that lodgepole pines (which are Alberta's provincial tree) were named because the Native people collected them to make their teepee. As we collect information about Alberta we will be recording it together.
Skip counting was our math focus this morning using a hundreds chart. We skip counted in various ways and next we will write about the patterns we notice. I will be looking for students who can talk about the numbers by what is in the ones and tens columns.
Read 20/10 and bring back your reading record tomorrow -
