LITERACY
|
–STORY-THE COLOUR MONSTER – Listen to this story here. When you think of a feeling do you sometimes feel colours? Like red for angry? Lots of people have made connections to feelings and colours. Choose a colour and think about how it makes you feel. Draw and write about it. Pick a few more colours and do the same.
– WRITER’S WORKSHOP: -Watch this video on Howe Sound. https://youtu.be/XTLTltIzMUo Write in your Writer’s Workshop book about how you connect with the video (Have you been camping? Have you seen Orcas in the wild? Do you love the water? etc.) Can you create a story that has a setting on or by the ocean? Make sure you describe what the area looks like for your story so the ready can create an image in their mind. –REFLECTION JOURNAL -Complete pages 18-21 in your Reflection Journal. –JOURNAL– Write a journal entry telling your dad (or another special family member) all of the reasons that you think they are special (What are your favourite things to do together? What do you like most about them? What is your favourite memory with them?). –READING FOCUS- when reading, look for “contractions”. These are 2 words joined together by taking out a letter and inserting an apostrophe. For example, is not = isn’t, you have = you’ve. Make a list of the ones you find. |
