Another busy week in Room 5! I would like to wish all the families a safe and happy Thanksgiving weekend.
Homework
This week, the homework is to teach an adult learner how to play "Making Words", using the target word, "Thanksgiving". An excellent way for children to demonstrate a skill is for them to teach it to another person. The students know lots of strategies to help make as many words as possible using the 12 letters in the target word. For example, use small words in the big word, add "s" to the nouns, use rhyming strategies and "ing" to the verbs. When we did this activity as a class, we managed to make 94 different words!
After teaching the lesson, the students must write a reflection on their teaching experience. A teaching reflection worksheet was handed out on Friday.
Note: We have been working on addition and subtraction strategies in class. Here is a website that has games to help learn addition and subtraction facts:
