It's Monday!

Hi! We decided last week was a busy week - so even though our helpers wrote notes for the blog, Mrs. Armour only posted a couple days! We will try and get most information on Mondays and Wednesdays and then if anything is really important - we will post it with pictures!

We hope everyone enjoyed their MOTHER'S DAY CARDS! We worked hard to sketch and paint and write for you. Thanks for all you do Mom!

Friday - We had a cool, breezy day of bird watching and listening and learning how to record our sightings on eBird. We will practice again and thanks for all those who are "birding" at home!

Monday - Summer! Calgary weather always is up and down...Thank you for sending us in cool clothes with a sweatshirt for the mornings in our Clubhouse and our water bottles so we stay hydrated.

Our blog helpers this week are Lily, Samantha, Kashia and Georgia. Thank you! We have had some great movie reviews and are looking forward to some more this month. It is great practice to think about how to tell the group a few of your favorite parts without giving the ending away.

WRITING - We wrote in our journals today and then found a buddy to share with to see if they could find the "who, did what, where and when?" in our writing! Grade twos shared their "ing" words and then tried to think of other endings like "ed" Grade ones were finishing up any "in" or "ick" printing.

MATH - We started new math groups today. We will all be working on adding and subtracting whichever group we are in. Ask me which teacher I am with and what we did today!

DIORAMAS - Most of us are finishing up our Dioramas, thinking about all our research we did and trying to include as much detail as we can. We will be writing up "Did you know?" facts on the computer so we will be ready to share with anyone who asks about our animal and it's habitat.

Mrs. Armour is away tomorrow, so Mrs. Lysak will be teaching us tomorrow. We are excited to share our Dioramas with her!

TOMORROW (Tuesday) IS TREAT DAY! Bring 25 cents to buy a treat at recess. Thanks to Room 7!!

Mrs. Kidd is away tomorrow, so we will have Library on Wednesday this week.

Our first Sketching Residency begins this week.  Thanks to a donation of sketching supplies and funds from our School Council, we are able to welcome Ms. Ryder Richards, a sketch artist, who will be working with our students over the next 14 days.

The Victoria Day long weekend is next weekend.  There are no classes for students on Friday, May 18 and Monday, May 21 is the holiday.
