May 15th - 19th

 

This week we focused on the WH Question words - 

Who  *  What  *  Where  *  When  *  Why

Learning Intention: 

- Children demonstrate understandings of messages communicated in texts

- Children learn that understanding messages in texts involves asking and answering questions

I Can:

- Ask questions that clarify ideas or information in texts

- Answer questions about ideas or information in texts

Students have been working hard on learning about and using WH Question words in a variety of ways such as during our 'talk times' and when listening to stories.  After reading the book Swimmy by Leo Lionni, students drew a picture as well as answered and asked questions about the story.

We will definitely continue to work on our questioning skills over the next few weeks as we start to wonder and inquire about our interesting new classmates that arrived Friday afternoon!
