Wednesday

Today we did new centres - they were fun! We are enjoying making bookmarks with tassels, letters and stickers, playing literacy games and word work on the iPads before and after guided reading.

We played Bench Ball in gym - it is a little bit like dodge ball in reverse! You are trying to pass the ball to players on your bench while the other team is deflecting the balls. If your players catch the ball that you passed, you get to go join them on the bench. You are trying to be the first team with all your players on the bench. It took a little while to explain the rules, but once we started it was really fun and we had good practice throwing and catching.

For math, we discussed how to ask a "yes/no" question - ask us what our question was. Then we wrote our question on our sheet and went around the class asking and keeping a "tally". Ask us to show you how to count 3, 8, and 11 with tally marks. Tomorrow we will turn our tally marks (our data) into a graph. Ingmar said he enjoyed this activity because he likes to ask questions over and over again!

After lunch we wrote our title for Secondary Colours in our art journal. Tomorrow we are hoping to paint. Mrs. Armour had 6 bottles and mixed all the primary colors to make the three secondary colors. It was exciting!

Ingmar, Lily, Tessa and Trinity helped with the blog today. Most of us thought our day was good.

This week has been busy and we have forgotten about our musical sharing. Next week, Tessa, Trinity, Carmen and Colin are invited to bring something musical to share with us!

Tomorrow afternoon we will be getting all our learning pieces together to share with you during interviews. We are looking forward to it!

REMINDER: Please read with me my Home Reading book tonight and send it tomorrow for a new one for the long weekend.
