Div.4 and Div.5 have been working continuously on their pollinator shelter learning. After building with Alex Mckillop, we are now presenting our pollinator shelters to our peers. We’ve been focusing on our oral language skills by paying attention to our volume, pacing, expression in our voice and including gestures to engage our audience. Our presenters have done a marvelous job of communicating their learning with Div.4 and Div.5, presenting to both classes! Audience members have been practicing their respectful listening and giving purposeful and constructive feedback. Check the bottom of this post to see some of our building pictures!

Lifted (2006 film) - WikipediaOur Book Club reading for this term has wrapped up and we are now focusing on the elements of a story and creating our own graphic novels. We’ve been viewing Pixar shorts focusing on the exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. On Monday we viewed For the Birds, and really enjoyed the falling action and resolution. Div.4 and Div.5 had the giggles today when looking at the plot of Lifted, what a conflict!!

Next week we’ll be bringing some of our learning home to share with our families. Learning will be shared in their binder portfolios and on their Blogfolios online.
