All set up and ready to go!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Only ONE more sleep until Ms. Sandy is with us! :)

We had a busy morning of learning today!

After we talked a bit about what to expect over the coming days (and got over the shock that we will have
25 guests in our room watching us this week!) we got straight to work.

Our two main goals this morning were to:

1) Re-organize our "What We Notice" chart into specific sections, thus transforming in into the chart,
"What do good technical writers do?"

 

2) Complete our class shared write for a "balancing mobile" problem.

Page 1 of our "shared write" in Math.

Our AMAZING Math words!
These two charts are in French, but (hiding behind them) are also the same chart in English!
We will refer to these word charts often when we are writing in our groups this week!

These writing pieces will be the first charts we go through with Ms. Sandy tomorrow, so it was important that 

ALL of voices were heard and shared on our charts.

We learned A LOT about writing with urgency and stamina this morning. Collaborating on a text together as a class requires everyone's full focus and participation the entire time! The more we share and build on each other's ideas, the better our thinking and our writing becomes!

We will be working with the same intensity all this week and we know we can do it! We came up with so many great ideas this morning and respecting others' ideas and negotiating with one another was essential to our success.

I (Mme Careen) am so very excited to be on this journey with you this week. Together, we will grow SO much as writers and learn so many skills that will help us become stronger learners across all subject areas! 

Je crois en vous!

À demain! :)

Our room is now set up and ready to go!
