Mystery Creature
Is this a fun activity! This is an activity where we write information about our creature and it is called, "mystery creature" because we can't show anybody and the information is describing what it looks like and when we are finished we share it with the class. - Lauren
We are all making a creature and we have to keep it a surprise from the class. - Eric D., Cecilia & Heidi
It is so much fun! I can't wait till I see everyones creatures. - Maddox
We are creating creatures out of things like shapes like triangles, circles, squares, and rectangles. You can name your creature. - Stacy
Today we went in the computer lab and wrote what we had written in our writer's notebooks and put a boarder on the page. - Jessica
Lots of creatures, lots of writing. - Mitchell
Everyone makes them individually and then we have to make descriptive paragraphs about the creature and then type it up. When everyone is done, we will read our paragraphs while the rest of the class tries to draw it. - Sam
We are keeping it a surprise from the class. - Derek

We started with a white circle, then we added blue and keep on adding blue to the mixture. Then we added black trees and added white snow on the black trees. - Ronelle
For art we only used 3 colours, black, blue and white. The moon was the background, it used white and light blue to dark blue, it got darker and darker. - Katie

Daily 5
I love daily 5, my favourite is listening to reading. - Ethan
For read to someone, we will soon SKYPE. - Eric C.
We had daily 5. There is read to self, read to someone, listening to reading, writer's notebook and word work. - Heidi
On the computer we keep track of what we do for daily 5. - Heidi
Daily 5 is a fun learning activity for reading! My favourite activity is work on writing because I love writing and making stories! My next favourite is word work because we set up our spelling test and I do activities to practice my words. - ?
Daily 5 is awesome!! - Dante
When you read to self, you pick a spot and you stay there. - Maddox
Daily 5 is were we have 5 choices. Word work is where you have may do's and must do's. Must do's are rainbow words, ABC order, silly sentences and a new one called word sort. When you read to self you have to pick an IPICK book and it has to be a chapter book. Read to someone you can read picture books. - Ronelle & Sofia
Daily 5 is where we do centres like word work and so on. - Khang
During daily 5, in writer's workshop we have been working on mystery creatures and when we are done that we are writing our 3rd penpal letter and our penpals are grade 6 students from a different school and we write to each other. - Sam
On work on writing we have to work on our mystery creature and when we do word work we use our spelling words and do the must do's and when we do read to self we pick a chapter book and read it and when we do read to someone we can us a picture book or a chapter book and listen to reading we can listen to stories on the computer, radio or voice recorder. - ?
Word work: must do's and may do's. Read to someone: Take turns listening to reading and working on comprehension questions. Writer's Notebook: Mystery Creature. Listen to reading: Early years (picture books) and Middle years (chapter books and comic books) which are both on Tumblebooks. - ?
Listening to reading is listening on the computer. - Rhian
We are starting a new system to keep track of our daily 5 choices which give the students more independence and awareness for picking their choices more quickly. - Mrs. Kosolowski

Structures
A shell structure is something with nothing inside like a fish tank. - Katie
A solid structure is something like a book. - Ally
A frame structure is something that is held together, you see the parts that give it shape like the skeleton of a human. - Frances & Katie

A shell structure is an egg. - Ronelle
One station I went to was that I had to walk around outside the classroom and I had to find structures made out of triangles. Triangles are the strongest shape. - Jessica
One station I was at was the vocabulary station. I had to match words like 1 card said beam bridge and I had to find the card that explained what a beam bridge was. - Eric D.
Arch bridge is curved. - Aden
Today I learned that the couch in the classroom is a frame and shell structure. A shell structure is hollow and a frame structure makes the shape. - Lauren
