We had a look at fiction and non-fiction books today. We started with looking at two books about spiders and noting how they were the same and how they were different. We created a list of their features such as illustrations vs. photos, different titles and facts vs. story. We zoomed in on the first page noting a table of content and a title page. Students then worked with their own pairing of books noticing their similarities and differences. We will be 'zooming in' on non-fiction for the next couple of weeks.
Everyone sorted their personal deck of cards today to determine even and odd numbers. Students estimated the value of their even and odd piles and then were adding the numbers together. I was looking for students who could add with a strategy such as making a friendly number and if their estimates were reasonable.
This week we are walking to remember Chanie Wenjack a victim of the residential school system in 1966. This is to honour and build awareness about the distance that Chanie Wenjack was attempting to walk when he left residential school to reunite with his family. We will be walking the school block counting our steps. Our goal as a school is 644 km. Today we each walked 2,924 steps.
