Welcome back Monday

We are changing our jobs to be every week instead of every day so we can work at getting better at all of them! This week NAVY (Logan, Gavin, Samantha and Emmaline) will be on Doorbell, Lights, Line Leader, Calendar and helping with the Blog. "Tea with Teach" will be on Thursdays.
RED group is cleaning floors/carpet, TURQUOISE is organizing the book shelves, GREEN group is cleaning desks. We are learning how to work together as a group!

Today was different for Journals because we wrote and drew pictures of our Nose Hill hike. Some of us drew Goldenrod and Rose hips. We used different sentence starters like "I discovered..." or "I saw..." We talked about a TOPIC sentence (the first sentence), the DETAIL sentences (adding extra details about the topic, and the CLOSING sentence (to complete our idea). Did you know if you find Buck brushes they are crumbly and you can easily see their seeds. Samantha's group saw a wasp nest.

Today we learned about "good fit" books. A good fit book is when I can read a page without getting stuck on 5 or less words.We looked for two "good fit" books we can keep in our desks to practice reading. Next month we will start our guided reading groups and home reading. We can't wait!

We learned about being a "reflective learner." Reflecting is like looking in the mirror and seeing something we need to change. We don't get upset, we just go back and make it better! We had a page with fill in the blanks to name our shapes (grade twos) and number how many different shapes we had on our project.

We are very excited about tomorrow. Remind us to have a healthy dinner and a good rest tonight!

REMINDER: LIBRARY day Tuesday. Remind us to bring back our books so we can check out new ones.

Tomorrow is Halloween. Please remind us to come in our regular clothes. We will change into our costumes at lunch before our Halloween Parade. Face paint can be put on at home.
