New table groups! New jobs! Ask me who I am sitting with now and what my new job for the week will be. Emmaline, Madalynn, Lucas and Colin have shared some of their favorite movies - thank you for letting us know what parts you like, what characters are interesting and how many stars out of 5 you would give it. We thought we could look in our public library if we were interested in watching them!
Today we wrote in our journals about our weekend. We are trying to edit our work and share with a friend before checking with Mrs. Armour. We are looking for the who, what, where, when, why and how of our story to add more detail!
Some of us needed to finish our math problem and some of us played Race to 100 or other adding and subtracting games like snakes and ladders.
We all sat in a circle on the carpet in a grade one, grade two pattern then we took turns writing "ing" words, or "ick" words - tomorrow we will practice finding words in books with "ing" and "ick" and printing them.
After lunch and quiet reading, we read about "Mickey" the metal bird in our library. It was given to the brand new Dr. E.W. Coffin as a gift in 1968. Ask me where the artist came from and where Mickey was put in the school. We wrote down some facts and added those and the sketch of Mickey to our book bags.
Gym was outside today and we played "Deer and Antelope tag" If Mrs. Armour said "Deer" the deer had to run "home" and the antelope chased them, but if she said, "Antelope" they had to run and the deer would chase them. It was a little confusing, but it teaches us to listen and respond quickly!
LIBRARY TOMORROW and thanks for continuing to do HOME READING - please let Mrs. Armour know if you have lost your Home Reading bag or need more challenging books!
