It's great to see the sun shining! Let's hope it keeps up for the week!
This morning, in word work, we worked on capitalization, punctuation and supporting sentences. For our circle, we discussed our favorite bands which led in to our morning reading on a Gord Downie article. We will continue to work on reading comprehension skills using this article tomorrow. After recess, we extended our understanding using a video entitled "Thinking Like a Historian." We reflected on our prior knowledge and used our previous pictorial representations (see below) to add to our understanding. We learned that thinking like a historian involves skills such as research, making theories, making arguments, etc.. Skill used by scientists, storytellers and lawyers. We are working on a new representation of our understanding. (Stay tuned:))
