October Week 2 Day 2

8:45-9:15 Homework/Silent Reading/Question of the Day Objective: Homework, Question of the Day & Silent Reading

Question (on white board) : What was your favourite part of our bat cave?

Once everyone has arrived and completed their morning tasks, I get them to come to the carpet. We do our morning announcements and then review the question of the day. Usually my focus is on writing complete sentences with punctuation & capital letters as well as plural ("s" and "ent"). They need these reminders. I read their answers, allowing them to share if they wrote it (of course if they want to share) and we have a fun discussion about their answers, all while reviewing their sentences.

Usually this is when I tell them they will have an upcoming Science Evaluation. I usually prep them really well before this first test. I will add it to my lesson plans now so you can take a look at it beforehand.

9:15-9:45 Shared Reading : Finish yesterday's texts

Today, students will finish answering the questions from yesterday's texts. A lot will probably not be done. If they are done, you can take time to review them as a class.

If some are done and some aren't, the other students can finish another incomplete task, or work on their art notebooks.

9:45-10:45 Music Prep (they get an hour today)

10:45-11:25 Nutrition Break & Recess

Students should now know the rules of nutrition break, feel free to see how they do without repeating yourself. If they have a hard time, review rules tomorrow.

11:25-11:55 Science: Flight

Expectations:

D2.3 describe ways in which flying machines and various organisms use balanced and unbalanced forces to control their flight

Students will finish their flying bats. Before letting them finish and getting to the competition, we watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUyqakRMrxo

Then, I allow them to go back to the drawing board and finish making their flying bats from yesterday.

11:55 Start over with your new group
