Ms. Fagnan's Class

"We are going to make our own art, it can be about anything as long as it had a feature from Jason Carters picture" exclaimed Ms. Jones. Today in art, Ms. Jones showed us a picture that Jason Carter created. We made our own picture but it had to include something from the artists picture. There were 3 options that we could choose to make our art with: 1. paint 2. drawing 3. pastels. In genius hour, we were going to show the other class how to make i-movies but we ran out of time, then we were going to show them prodigy but it didn't work either so we went on ABCYA! Thanks to Jordan for organizing cards for the troops activity Bring food in for the mayors food bank Have a nice weekend

"Awwww" went some of the classmates in Mrs. Nayyar's class when we heard the announcement that we would be going outside for second recess. Today in social studies we worked on our plasticine maps. In gym, we did field hockey games. In language arts we finished up our cards for the Canadian Peacekeepers and Jordan will send them off tomorrow.  Honey is sold at recess from Dec. 9-13 We have a spelling quiz tomorrow

Clack, clack, clack went our sticks on the ground as we were playing games of field hockey. In gym, we played field hockey games and we were not allowed to dribble the ball, we could only stand were we got it and then we had to pass it or shoot. In science, we learned about the layers of soil. The layers were top soil, sub soil, regolith, and bed rock. In language arts we made a dragon in our visualize journals. Ms. Fagnan read us a book first and then we had to draw in our visual journal what we thought the dragon looked like. Everyone had a good imagination and we could make our dragon evil, cute kind, big, small or however we wanted it.  Honey will be on sale during recess from December 9-13. It is $5 a jar Tomorrow is fun lunch for those who ordered Our class will be performing in the Christmas Concert on Dec. 19th during the day as well as during the evening Have a great rest of your day

Squeak, squeak, squeak went the marker on the whiteboard as Ms. Jones wrote a math problem. In math we did word problems and we did one with the class first. We then did two by ourselves. If we showed Ms. Jones and did two types of ways to show our work then we could do the challenge. In gym we did one-on-one dribbling to our partner. We were trying to touch their shoe with our ball. Then we would go back and do it again. You had to keep it in your box. In music, we were practicing our Christmas song called Kwanzaa and Diwali.  On November 28 the Christmas decoration forms are due.  Dress for the weather.  On December 9-13 you can buy honey for $5. Have a great rest of your day. Students had a choice for their spelling quiz this week, they could practice either list one or list two for the quiz on Friday List One: igneous metamorphic sedimentary connection array List Two: three think thorn where whale

"Ok class, now we are going to talk about what soil we should use to make our gardens grow the best" exclaimed Ms. Jones. Today in science, Ms. Jones taught us what type of soil we should use to make our plants grow really tall. We watched a video that had 3 characters, Gritty, Smoothy and Sticky. Smoothy is the best type of soil to use because it has air and water. In language arts, we worked on connections. The story we read was called Nana's Summer Surprise. In gym, we practiced field hockey tackling. Tackling is when you put your stick on the ground and you have to block the other person from getting a goal. Fun lunch is on Thursday for those who ordered Our honey fundraising forms went home today. The honey was harvested right from the Coventry Hills Community!

"Class we need everything to be cleaned up for parent/teacher interviews tomorrow because we don't want our classroom to look dirty and boring!" ordered Ms. Fagnan. Today during mystery mess, Ms. Fagnan said everything was the mystery mess but no one got a sticker. In math, we did a show what you know and everyone did a little quiz that had 6 different questions. A few people are still working on it. The first thing we did today was our spelling quiz and we are going to be changing our spelling program a bit next week. In social studies we looked up Peru and we finished our KWL chart.

"Class, our jobs will stay the same this week because it's only a 3 day week" announced Ms. Fagnan. In social studies, most of us finished our paper from last social studies and we talked about electricity. After we drew a picture and then we wrote something with the sentence starter 'In Canada'. Before we left to go to our classroom we did a KWL chart in our visual journals. In language arts we made a paragraph about what is unique about us. First we planned with the paragraph sorter. Tomorrow we are going to edit our paragraphs. In gym we had 27 minutes because last time we had a lockdown. She only did 3 minutes of talking.

"Hello" exclaimed the buddies. Today we had our buddies and we used a Venn Diagram to see what is the same about us and what is different. The grade three's had to do all the writing. During genius hour, the people who were done building there thing from last genius hour got a challenge. Ms. Fagnan said we had to build something that we could use like a bedroom, a wrecking ball, a fork, and a super sonic slipper. In language arts we made a T-chart and Ms. Jones read us a book.

Flip, flip went the pages of the Recess Queen book. In language arts we talked about connections and we picked something from the Recess Queen book and connected it to something that happened to us. We made a t-chart in our language arts books to help compare them. In math, we got word problems and we had to solve them using a word sentence. We also had to show our thinking and the number sentence. In virtues we were looking growth and fixed mindsets. We learned that a growth mindset is when you keep on trying and a fixed mindset is when you just give up.  Popcorn orders are coming home today We are bringing our remembrance Day poppies home today The Leighton Art center is coming tomorrow.

Our two songs we are singing are called the Freedom Song and Sing for Peace. In social studies we looked at what a quality life is and if our lives were good or bad. We had to tell why we had a good life or a bad life. We all choose a good life. We didn't finish but will finish it next social studies. In math, we did some more multiplication. Ms. Fagnan gave us each a diamond sheet and 4 different multiplication sentences that we could choose from to solve on the paper.

Scratch, scratch scratch went our rocks as we scratched them against streak plates. In Science, we talked about the color, the lustre and the streak. If our rock left a streak it was soft and if it didn't leave a streak it was hard. We learned some new ways to describe lustre such as metallic, greasy and pearly. In gym, we played the same game as yesterday. We did a warm up activity called yes or no. Mrs. Grieve called out something and if your answer was yes, you had to freeze big and if it was no you had to freeze small. In language arts we worked on our poppy iMovie.
