Today I emailed all parents a copy of the curriculum newsletter. If you did not receive it please email me at klsloane@cbe.ab.ca.
We have started working on something called the CAFE. CAFE stands for comprehension, accuracy, fluency and expand vocabulary. This approach allows us to review and introduce new strategies that will help us become better readers. Our first strategy under comprehension is "Check for Understanding". We are working on this strategy during guided reading. The kids each a short passage to me and then I ask Who was that about and what happened?
Today we cleaned out our bins. This was long over due. We had almost no pencils in our bins and surprisingly after our clean up there suddenly appeared many many pencils in the bins.
Today we worked on a division worksheet. I am really happy with how things are coming along. Just to clarify as I accidentally said the wrong thing today in math, this is what each number in a division equation represent. The first number means how many altogether. The second number means how many in each group and the final number means how many groups there are. We will get it straight soon enough.
We have started to read a novel called I am Malala. This story ties in perfectly with our current social studies topic of the Rights and Responsibilities of the Child.
Have a wonderful evening!
