What we did today:
- we started off the the day by working on our own free verse poem about our class. We will be making our own free-verse poems about ourselves later this week. - today we moved our narative writing about a Medieval Castle scene from the Glenbow Museum from our Visual Journals to Google Docs. Show your parent what your paragraphs look like at this point. We focused on the editing and revising stages of our writing, using COPS for editing and the Strong S's of Writing for revising. What are the Strong S's of Writing? - during PE, we started dancing today. - we read some more of "Wonder" today. Who do you predict is the narrator next? - we did our math quiz on number sense with decimals. Then we did our first Multiplication Mad Minute. After that, we completed a times table chart to help with our understanding and accuracy of our basic multiplication facts to 12x12. - we had music to finish off the day Important Dates: Tuesday, December 6 - Author visit (1:15-2:15pm) Thursday, December 8 - Writer's Workshop with visiting author Last week of December - Grade 5 Weather Presentations due Homework: - read - practice your basic facts Patrols: - for students who are not on the First Crew of Patrollers until the end of December, review your patroller handbook so that you can retake the test.

I think it will be Julien because he hasn't been the narrator yet.

The strong S's of writing: strong vocabulary, sentence structure, sensory details and specific details.
