Maths: Measurement and conversions of length measurement has been a focus this week. The students were posed with some questions, such as: How does what we measure affect how we measure? We made a table to help us organize our thinking. What do we measure, how do we measure it, and what tools do we need to measure. After, we began to discuss conversions for measurements; particularly with length. The students had a chance to practice measuring and converting measurements from cm to m.
Literacy: The children have been working diligently on moving through the writing process to create their fractured fairy tales. They have been independently planning, meeting with a writing partner for feedback, creating a first draft, conferencing with a teacher, and then finally, moving on to making final edits for their published piece.
ICT: Student led conferences are quickly approaching and the students have been preparing and updating their blogs. They had a chance to spend a little more time in the lab this week to choose and reflect on the work they plan to share at conferences.
