Happy May Day! This morning for Word Work, the grade ones worked on the "ig" family words at their desk with fill in the blank sentences and finding the words with the correct spelling. Mrs. Armour reviewed the "ing" rules with the grade twos then read a page from Old Granny Fox - the grade twos had white boards and had to listen very closely and write down any "ing" words we heard. After that, we tried to guess which "ing" rule applied to each word we found.

We had Library today - ask me what books I checked out or if I need to look for a book at home to return.

Our Math problem today was about apples and animals! Ask me how my group figured it out and how we worked as a group.

This afternoon after "Did you know?" facts, we worked on our Dioramas. We needed to explain each part of our diorama to a friend and ask if we needed to add any more details or plants.

Tomorrow is HATS ON! for Mental Health Day. You can wear a hat to show your support if you would like. We will share what helps calm us and cheer us up when we get worried or upset and how we can help care for our friends who are worried or upset.

A goldenrod sheet is coming home today with instructions on how to get our very own ebird account so we can keep track of all the birds we see! Thanks for sending in the bottom portion so we can log in at school sometimes to count the birds we have seen. 

Friday our friends from CPAWS are back and we will be mini-ornithologists learning how to observe and keep track of the birds we see!
