We are currently working on our hallway display for you to see on Thursday evening when you come for 'Meet The Teacher'. We have been tasked with creating a display around the Beddington Heights Pillars of Care. We have been reading books about people who make a difference in the lives of others. Today we read 'Steeping Stones' a story about Rama and her family who were forced to flee their once peaceful home to escape the civil war in Syria and make their way to Europe. She was so happy to be welcomed by people who smiled, offered food and toys. These people did some little things that made a big difference to Rama. We are all thinking about the question 'How can you make a difference?' Check out our hallway Thursday night when you come for Meet The Teacher.
We used 'Stepping Stones' to answer the question "When do we use capital letters in writing?" We brainstormed together and came up with; at the start of a sentence, using I, proper nouns, and titles of books. All of which are grade expectations so we used these rules to begin writing a poem about our friends. 'Friends' follows the pattern of a poem we read yesterday by Jessica Crum. Everyone has a copy of her poem and we looked at it for patterns and capital letters.
