Reader’s Theatre

Posted on by

Students have been working hard to practice their Reader’s Theatre scripts with their peers. This is a fun and engaging way for us to continue developing our confidence as readers, develop a joy of reading, and build reading fluency. We are also building on our knowledge of oral language including adjusting volume, pace, tone, and articulation and focusing on the speaker.

Below is Ewan and his peer’s performance. I ask that you please do not download the video to maintain the privacy of other students.

Creating Characters for Story Workshop

Posted on by

During Story Workshop, we have began focusing on characters. After having planned what kind of characters we would like to create and gathering natural materials outside, Ewan brings his plans to life! After creating his character, Ewan worked describing his character, including the characters name, personality traits, and what makes them unique! We will use our characters in our stories as we continue to find and share the stories that we have to tell!

 

Body Map – Exploring the core competencies

Posted on by

As we reflect on the Core Competencies, we have been exploring where they might live in our bodies. Our body maps reflect the places that we believe the Core Competencies live, as well as examples of when we have shown each of the competencies we have chosen. Students also engaged in reflecting on the gifts that they bring to our classroom community.

A copy of our body maps will be sent home. Please ask your child to explain and show you the different Core Competencies they have chosen along with their examples of when they have shown the core competency.

School Wide Write Term 3

Over the past couple of weeks, we took part in a school wide write. We read the story If I Built A School by Chris Van Duden and explored the prompt if I built a school…  Students then engaged in the writing process, including planning and writing to share their ideas.
