Given a list of words, he confidently circled the suffixes -y, -ly, and -ty and drew a line under the root of each word. Additionally, he read 'How do we Celebrate God's Forgiveness and Healing' and wrote what he was grateful for in his religion journal.

Dr. Seuss read aloud
Lesson Outline
Jonathan and I began our session with submitting completed work from the week thus far. We then listened to a Dr. Seuss read aloud, "Wacky Wednesday". Following the read aloud, Jonathan created a new class logo (maybe a little wacky) that best tells us about his homeroom. Jonathan chose to do his logo about The Batt School instead of St. Catharines. Jonathan then wrote a descriptive writing describing the logo, completing this with another teacher.

Jonathan had some difficulty with subjects or ideas to shoot but really took to the editing process of an image. So we are concentrating on a sequence of images and framing the shot.

Math and Science

Math – Jonathan continued to recognize and draw shapes. He drew shapes to identify the number of sides, vertices, and angles. Next he identified shapes based on drawings. Then he sorted shapes to determine which were cubic and which were not cubic. Then he determined which shapes were two-dimensional and which were three-dimensional.
Science – We began a lab report for creating a Newtonian fluid called Oobleck. We determined the materials needed for the experiment. Then we created a hypothesis and questions to answer.
