Monday

Happy Monday! A little sun, a little rain and everything is turning green for May! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and special art for the month of April! Look at the pictures below to see some of our art!
 We are now going to be sharing (talking about) movies we have seen like we are Movie Reviewers - what we thought was interesting, our favorite part, characters (who all the people or animals are), setting (where and when it takes place) and how many stars out of five we would give it (Yes! Loved it! 4 or 5 stars, It was okay 2 or 3 stars). It is always helpful to practice speaking at home with our families and they can give us tips about what to add and how to say it clearly with our "speaker voice". Ingmar, Kasia, Madalynn and Lucas's group can be ready to share this week. (If it doesn't work this week, we can always find another time!)
We got our new jobs today - Ingmar, Kasia, Madalynn and Lucas are helping with blog this week! Ask me what my new job is and what I need to do at the end of the day to help keep our classroom neat and tidy.

We wrote in our journals today and Mrs. Armour reminded us that we are almost in grade 2 and 3! so we should be challenging ourselves to write more with exciting details and description. Grade 2's should be 8-10 sentences and grade 1's 4-5 sentences. Editing our work is really important so we try to read out loud to a buddy to see if it makes sense and we can add anything else.

We had a new math problem with wheels and legs. Ask me how I figured it out and if I had any problem spots. We need to show pictures, number and word sentences. If we just show the answer, we can't "see" how our brains are working as well.

We did more relays in gym today using bean bags to balance and throw into hoops. Ask me how my frog jump looked and how my balance was! We are hoping to be outside for gym whenever the weather is warm now!

We added more details to our animal research books (we are learning interesting facts about everyones animals as we all share "Did you know?" facts about habitat, food, family, appearance, predators...and then we could work on our dioramas. Tomorrow we will start to work on our animal out of plasticine!

TOMORROW IS LIBRARY 

WEDNESDAY IS HATS ON FOR MENTAL HEALTH - wear your hat if you have one!

FRIDAY, MAY 25th all the grade 1/2's will be going to Nose Hill with Sakokoto. If there are any parents available to volunteer, we would love to have you!
