Every school morning the Gr 3/4/5 have novel studies. There are 4 groups.
Here are the groups.
1. The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe.
2. The Indian Cupboard.
3. Stuart Little.
4. The Cricket In Times Square.
We spend 45 minutes every morning to work on it we have to complete vocabulary problems and questions. Every time we complete it we read the next 2 chapters and get the next novel study package.We have to complete our package by the end of the week if not it becomes homework. Not everybody is a fan of homework in our class so we all try to get it done quickly. If we finish early, it we get the next package that won't be for homework on that week until the next week. It's very fun because we read interesting books, understand them, learn something new, interesting and have great challenges and surprises in every novel study package.
We have novel studies so we can learn vocabulary, punctuation and new things (like similes and metaphors) and also for the people that don't understand English can improve their English too.
Every afternoon we do unit of inquiry and sometimes art.
We are currently making a communication device for the future from half of the paper mache, creativity is our goal. Everyone's device was unique, colorful and outside the box. Our paper mache project is due on Friday the 6th December 2013. So we have to be quick, neat, unique and not waste time. We had to put our projects in a different room that is not used because our classroom is not that big and we got a lot of things inside. When we are finished we have to make instructions for it, write what it is and what it can do so our teacher can show it outside our classroom for other teachers, students and parents to see our creativity and hard work.
Here they are!
Our future communication devices.
Every day is an exiting learning, art, vocabulary adventure for the Grade 3/4/5
We can't wait for the next day! :)
