Student-led Conference Preparation
Students began to reflect on what they have done well/ need to improve on by filling out their student-led conference package.

RECESS/ LUNCH

Heidi Movie
We watched the movie "Heidi" with Ms. Chiappetta's class. As we watched the movie, students were asked to reflect on aspects that were similar to the class novel we read and those that were different. Once the movie was done, students began to work on their reflections discussing some similarities and differences they found. Students also had to reflect on whether they would recommend others to read the book or watch the movie and explain they choice.

RECESS/ LUNCH

Inquiry into Language
Students continued to work on their reflections from the movie. If finished, they began to read for 20 minutes. During this period we also began to explore how to use a dictionary. Today we focused on putting words in alphabetical order, as this will help us determine whether a word can be found on a certain page or not. We also touched on "guide words" and how we use these to help us locate words in a dictionary. We will continue to work on this as it is important that students know how to use a dictionary to help them find the meaning of words, along with help them check the spelling of words.

AGENDA
- Read for 25 minutes
- Spelling Lesson 24
- ACT OF KINDNESS
- Heidi movie reflection worksheet
